Ergonomic Flexible Drivers for Hepatic MR Elastography
Introduction: Normal liver tissue is soft when assessed by palpation, whereas cirrhotic livers are typically very hard [1]. Liver stiffness is a very sensitive and specific biomarker for staging liver fibrosis in chronic liver disease patients, which has been proved by a number of elastographic techniques such as ultrasound elasticity imaging and Magnetic Resonance Elastography (MRE) [2-6]. Eme...
متن کاملAssessment of hepatic fibrosis by transient elastography in rheumatoid arthritis patients receiving methotrexate
Background and Aim: Methotrexate (MTX) is commonly used in the treatment of diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA) but, its hepatotoxicity potential, always has been a major concern. The aim of this study is to determine the rate of liver fibrosis by transient elastography (TE) method and its relationship with cumulative dose of MTX and duration of treatment, in rheumatoid arthritis patient...
متن کاملUltrasound Elastography and MR Elastography for Assessing Liver Fibrosis: Part 1, Principles and Techniques.
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this article is to provide an overview of ultrasound and MR elastography, including a glossary of relevant terminology, a classification of elastography techniques, and a discussion of their respective strengths and limitations. CONCLUSION Elastography is an emerging technique for the noninvasive assessment of mechanical tissue properties. These techniques report metr...

Ladd Department of Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology and Neuroradiology, University Hospital Essen, Essen, Germany, MR Physics, Demartment of Medical Radiology, University of Basel, Basel, Switzerland Introduction MR elastography (MRE) has been shown to be capable of non-invasively measuring tissue elasticity ev...
متن کاملIntensity speckle MR elastography
Introduction: Magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) allows the measurement of the mechanical properties of living tissue by combining shear waves and motion sensitive MRI [1]. In classical MRE, shear wave images are evaluated using an appropriate wave inversion technique for calculating an estimate of the spatial distribution of the shear modulus within the region of interest [2]. Problem: Wave...
