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 …

Magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) is an innovative imaging technique for the non-
invasive quantification of the biomechanical properties of soft tissues via the direct …

Magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) is a medical imaging technique that combines
magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with mechanical vibrations to generate maps of …

Background The value of measuring mechanical properties to categorize various
pathophysiologic states of the liver is as yet undetermined in chronic hepatitis B (CHB) or C …

Background and Aims Liver stiffness (LS) and spleen stiffness (SS) are two most widely
accessible non-invasive parameters for predicting esophageal varices (EV), but the reported …

Purpose To perform a meta-analysis to generate an estimate of the repeatability coefficient
(RC) for magnetic resonance (MR) elastography of the liver. Materials and Methods A …

Objectives To systematically review studies on the diagnostic accuracy of spleen stiffness
measurement (SSM) for the detection of clinical significant portal hypertension (CSPH) …

Purpose To determine whether hepatocyte uptake ratios derived at gadoxetic acid–
enhanced MRI correlate with quantitative measures of liver function and can help to identify …

Elastography-based liver stiffness measurement (LSM) is a non-invasive tool for estimating
liver fibrosis but also provides an estimate for the severity of portal hypertension in patients …

Many diseases cause substantial changes in the mechanical properties of tissue, and this
provides motivation for develo** methods to noninvasively assess the stiffness of tissue …
