Noninvasive Tests for Predicting Decompensation in Compensated Advanced Chronic Liver Disease: A Comprehensive Review

Liver International, Volume 46, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Strong non‐invasive tests (NITs) are needed to predict decompensation in patients with compensated advanced chronic liver disease (cACLD) and improve personalized patient care. We conducted a comprehensive review of the studies evaluating the effectiveness of NITs in predicting decompensation or liver‐related death in patients with cACLD.

Identification of Hepatic Fibrosis and Steatosis via A Point‐of‐Care Transient Elastography System With Integrated AI

Liver International, Volume 46, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Background & Aims Transient elastography (TE) is routinely undertaken for non‐invasive assessment of liver fibrosis and steatosis, but is limited by its bulky design, inadequate imaging guidance and conventional algorithmic framework. Thus, we report a real‐time B‐mode image–guided, artificial intelligence–assisted, point‐of‐care TE (AI‐POC‐TE)

Prospective Comparison of DWI‐Derived Virtual MR Elastography and Conventional MR Elastography in Metabolic Dysfunction‐Associated Steatotic Liver Disease and Healthy Volunteers

Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Volume 63, Issue 4, Page 996-1008, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Virtual MR elastography (VMRE) and MRE have been proposed for liver fibrosis staging in metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), but VMRE's diagnostic performance remains debated. Purpose To assess the inter‐visit and inter‐reader reproducibility of fat‐uncorrected and fat‐corrected diffusion‐weighted ...

Motion Mitigation Techniques for Abdominal and Cardiac MR Imaging

Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Volume 63, Issue 4, Page 917-937, April 2026.
ABSTRACT MRI of the heart and abdominal organs provides unparalleled soft tissue contrast and quantitative biomarkers, yet remains highly susceptible to physiological motion. Contractions of the myocardium, respiratory excursions, peristalsis, vascular pulsatility, and unpredictable bulk patient movement generate artifacts that impair image quality ...

Achilles Tendon Shear Wave Velocity Within a 1‐Year Follow‐Up After Non‐Operatively Treated Rupture

Journal of Orthopaedic Research, Volume 44, Issue 4, April 2026.
During a 1‐year follow‐up after an acute Achilles tendon rupture, the injured tendon reached the shear wave velocity level of the uninjured limb by 6 months. At 6‐ and 12 months, the symmetry of tendon shear wave velocity correlated with the symmetry of ankle plantarflexion strength, but not with the number of daily steps nor the symmetry of tendon ...

Differential Mortality Risk by Age in Males and Females With Steatotic Liver Disease

MedComm, Volume 7, Issue 4, April 2026.
Data on the impact of sex for overall and cause‐specific mortality in patients with metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is limited. Among older (>50 years) people with MASLD, males had about 40% higher risk of overall and nonliver related mortality, while the opposite was observed with females having about 30% higher risk ...

Free‐Breathing, 3D Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Elastography for Myocardial Stiffness Mapping

Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, Volume 95, Issue 4, Page 2356-2369, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Purpose Magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) of the heart has predominantly utilized breath‐held acquisitions with limited anatomic coverage. This work investigates the feasibility of 3D, free‐breathing cardiac MRE. Methods A 3D hybrid radial and EPI acquisition is utilized and combined with retrospective binning of k‐space via physiologic ...
