Magnetic 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 کاملChronic Hepatitis and Fibrosis Assessed by Magnetic Resonance Elastography (MRE)
INTRODUCTION: Liver fibrosis results from chronic liver disease, including chronic viral hepatitis, non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), inborn errors of metabolism, and toxic damage. Characterizing severity of fibrosis is essential for prediction of disease progression and therapy. Recently, ultrasonographic (US) elastography and magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) have been used to detect ...
متن کاملAssessment of Liver Fibrosis: Comparison of Magnetic Resonance Elastography (MRE) and Diffusion-weighted Imaging (DWI)
INTRODUCTION: Hepatic fibrosis is a wound-healing response to multiple types of chronic liver disease or injury. Cirrhosis, the end-stage of liver fibrosis, is a major cause of death due to its association with hepatocellular carcinoma and complicated portal hypertension. Accurate discrimination of advanced fibrosis and cirrhosis from mild fibrosis in patients with chronic liver disease is esse...
متن کاملMechanical properties of thigh muscle from childhood to adulthood with Magnetic Resonance Elastography (MRE) technique
Introduction Muscle tissue is strongly solicited during all the life. The structural and functional properties of the muscle can be affected by its perpetual stretches and contractile activities but also by specific muscle pathologies. Imaging techniques can determine the muscle composition and morphological properties but no quantification of the mechanical properties is recorded with such ima...
متن کاملMagnetic resonance elastography (MRE) of the human brain: technique, findings and clinical applications.
Neurological disorders are one of the most important public health concerns in developed countries. Established brain imaging techniques such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and x-ray computerised tomography (CT) have been essential in the identification and diagnosis of a wide range of disorders, although usually are insufficient in sensitivity for detecting subtle pathological alterations...
