Magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) is a phase contrast–based MRI technique that can
measure displacement due to propagating mechanical waves, from which material …

Liver fibrosis should be assessed in all individuals with chronic liver disease as it predicts
the risk of future liver-related morbidity and thus need for treatment, monitoring and …

The prevalence of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is increasing rapidly worldwide
as the obese and diabetic populations increase, and it has been estimated to be 20–30% in …

Chronic liver diseases often result in the development of liver fibrosis and ultimately,
cirrhosis. Treatment strategies and prognosis differ greatly depending on the severity of liver …

Background & Aims Patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and significant
fibrosis (fibrosis stage≥ 2) are candidates for pharmacological trials. The aim of this study …

Elastography has emerged as a preferred non-invasive imaging technique for the clinical
assessment of liver fibrosis. Elastography methods provide liver stiffness measurement …

Liver fibrosis is characterized by the accumulation of extracellular matrix proteins such as
collagen in the liver interstitial space. All causes of chronic liver disease may lead to fibrosis …

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 investigate the utility of magnetic resonance (MR) elastography–derived
mechanical properties in the discrimination of hepatic inflammation and fibrosis in the early …

Non-invasive evaluation of liver fibrosis has evolved over the last couple of decades.
Currently, elastography techniques are the most widely used non-invasive methods for …
