Magnetic resonance elastography for detecting and staging liver fibrosis
Record ID 32013000300
English
Authors' recommendations:
Magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) involves the three-dimensional analysis of wave propagation and tissue deformation in patients suspected of or known to have chronic liver disease resulting from viral hepatitis or alcohol abuse. MRE is based on the principle that fibrosis changes the elasticity and viscosity of tissue. By assessing the propagation of acoustic waves through liver tissue, the extent of fibrosis may be indirectly derived.
