Chronic liver disease (CLD) with cirrhosis is one of the leading causes of death in the United
States and its incidence has an upward trend. 1 With the recent epidemic of obesity and …

Purpose To cross‐validate the magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) technique with a
clinical device, based on an ultrasound elastometry system called Fibroscan. Materials and …

Purpose: To determine the sensitivity and specificity of MR elastography (MRE) in the
staging of hepatic fibrosis (HF) using histopathology as the reference standard in an Asian …

Objectives: Magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) with three-dimensional spin-echo echo
planar imaging (3D-SE-EPI) is a newly emerging noninvasive method for assessing liver …

Purpose The purpose of this study was to compare fibrosis seen on liver biopsy to MR
elastography (MRE) stiffness measurements in normal controls and patients with abnormal …

Objectives To perform head-to-head comparisons of the feasibility and diagnostic
performance of transient elastography (TE), point shear-wave elastography (pSWE), and …

Objectives Conventional imaging techniques are insensitive to liver fibrosis. This study
assesses the diagnostic accuracy of MR elastography (MRE) stiffness values and the ratio of …

Purpose To evaluate the effect of hepatitis activity on liver stiffness measurements and the
role of serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) in liver fibrosis staging by MR elastography …

Objective To cross-validate liver stiffness (LS) measured on shear wave elastography (SWE)
and on magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) in the same individuals. Materials and …

Background Liver MR elastography (MRE) is available for the noninvasive assessment of
liver fibrosis; however, no previous studies have compared the diagnostic ability of MRE with …
