Purpose To assess the diagnostic performance of magnetic resonance (MR) elastography–
derived liver stiffness to detect liver fibrosis in a pediatric and young adult population with a …

Background Magnetic resonance (MR) elastography allows the noninvasive assessment of
liver stiffness, which is a surrogate for fibrosis. Objective The purpose of this study was to …

Background Magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) can determine the presence and
stage of liver fibrosis. Data on normative MRE values, while reported in adults, are limited in …

Objectives To assess reproducibility and fibrosis classification accuracy of magnetic
resonance elastography (MRE)–determined liver stiffness measured manually at two …

Magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) of the liver has emerged as the non-invasive
standard for the evaluation of liver fibrosis in chronic liver diseases (CLDs). The utility of …

Background Stiffness thresholds for liver MR elastography in children vary between studies
and may differ from thresholds in adults. Normative liver stiffness data are needed to …

Management of pediatric chronic liver disease is limited by lack of validated noninvasive
biomarkers of histologic severity. We demonstrate that magnetic resonance elastography is …

Magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) is a promising technique for noninvasive
assessment of fibrosis, a major determinant of outcome in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease …

Introduction Many chronic pediatric liver disorders are complicated by the development of
fibrosis and ultimately cirrhosis. Although hepatic fibrogenesis progresses along a common …

Numerous pediatric conditions result in hepatic fibrosis. As treatments develop for the
underlying disorders, a non-invasive assessment of liver fibrosis would be beneficial as an …
