Magnetic Resonance Elastography: The Beginning of a New Era in the Assessment of Liver Fibrosis
Abstract
Magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) offers a reliable, non-invasive assessment of liver fibrosis by quantitative stiffness measurement. As an alternative to biopsy, it offers assessment of the entire liver, and the recent development of 3D MRE extends its clinical potential by providing volumetric coverage.
