Magnetic 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: 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 (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 کاملScatter-based magnetic resonance elastography.
Elasticity is a sensitive measure of the microstructural constitution of soft biological tissues and increasingly used in diagnostic imaging. Magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) uniquely allows in vivo measurement of the shear elasticity of brain tissue. However, the spatial resolution of MRE is inherently limited as the transformation of shear wave patterns into elasticity maps requires the ...
