Magnetic resonance elastography: feasibility of liver stiffness measurements in healthy volunteers at 3T.
AIM To demonstrate the feasibility of obtaining liver stiffness measurements with magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) at 3T in normal healthy volunteers using the same technique that has been successfully applied at 1.5 T. METHODS AND MATERIALS The study was approved by the local ethics committee and written informed consent was obtained from all volunteers. Eleven volunteers (mean age 35 ±...
متن کاملMagnetic resonance elastography of liver in healthy Asians: normal liver stiffness quantification and reproducibility assessment.
PURPOSE To determine normal liver stiffness values evaluated with magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) in healthy normal Asian volunteers and assess its reproducibility. MATERIALS AND METHODS Liver stiffness was evaluated with MRE in 41 healthy Asians (23 females, 18 males; mean age, 41.8 years, and mean body mass index [BMI], 23.4 kg/m(2) ) on a 1.5T clinical scanner. The correlations betwe...
متن کاملMagnetic Resonance Elastography (MRE) of Liver Disease
MRE is a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based technology for non-invasively characterizing the biomechanical properties of tissues and may serve as a potential surrogate to invasive liver biopsies for diagnosing and staging liver fibrosis. MRE can be used to quantitatively image the direct consequence of liver fibrosisincreased stiffness of the hepatic tissue. MRE is performed following three...
متن کاملDetermination of thigh muscle stiffness using magnetic resonance elastography.
PURPOSE To measure the elastic properties of the vastus lateralis (VL), vastus medialis (VM), and sartorius (Sr) muscles using magnetic resonance elastography (MRE). MATERIALS AND METHODS To obtain a normative database of the aforementioned muscles, oblique scan directions were prescribed passing through each muscle. Shear waves were induced into the muscles using pneumatic and mechanical dri...
متن کاملDynamic Magnetic Resonance Elastography
There is strong precedent in clinical medicine for the concept that tissue viscoelastic properties, assessed by palpation, are markedly affected by a variety of disease processes. Student physicians learn that the presence of a hard mass in the thyroid, breast, or prostate is suspicious for malignancy. Indeed, many tumors of these structures are still first detected by touch. It is not uncommon...
