Increased attention is paid to the structural components of tissues. These components are
mostly collagens and various proteoglycans. Emerging evidence suggests that altered …

Liver MR elastography is an imaging technique used to measure liver stiffness in the
evaluation for possible fibrosis or cirrhosis. Liver stiffness measurement (LSM) is useful for …

A meta‐analysis was performed to assess and compare the accuracies of magnetic
resonance elastography (MRE) and diffusion‐weighted imaging (DWI) for the staging of …

The first clinical application of magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) was in the
evaluation of chronic liver disease (CLD) for detection and staging of liver fibrosis. In the …

Purpose To compare magnetic resonance (MR) elastography and ultrasonographic shear-
wave elastography (SWE shear-wave elastography) for the staging of hepatic fibrosis (HF …

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 …

Objectives We measured the accuracy of magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) for the
detection and staging of liver fibrosis in chronic hepatitis B (CHB) and compared it with …

The liver is the major organ for the metabolism of three major nutrients: protein, fat, and
carbohydrate. Chronic hepatitis C virus infection is the major cause of chronic liver disease …

Early diagnosis of liver cirrhosis is important. Ultrasound-guided liver biopsy is the gold
standard for diagnosis of liver cirrhosis. However, its invasiveness and sampling bias limit …

Aim Chronic hepatitis B is associated with important morbidity and mortality. Inflammation
has a pivotal role in hepatic fibrosis of this population. Hemogram-derived inflammatory …
