Chronic Liver Disease: Assessing Inflammation and Fibrosis Using Three‐Dimensional MR Elastography With Same‐Day Biopsy in a Prospective Cohort

open access: yesJournal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Three‐dimensional (3D) MR elastography (MRE) derives viscoelastic parameters that may reflect inflammation, but their frequency dependence and the influence of steatosis on inflammation grading and fibrosis staging remain unclear. Purpose To investigate 3D multifrequency MRE for assessing hepatic inflammation, fibrosis stage across ...
