Wide dynamic range MR elastography of liver
Introduction: The dynamics of the complex shear modulus of biological tissue is determined by rigidity and connectivity of cells. Thus, measuring the frequency dispersion of G* of an organ can provide a macroscopic parameter which is related to the mechanical microstructure and therewith to the state of health of tissue. Magnetic Resonance Elastography (MRE) is capable of determining G* in vivo...
متن کاملMR Elastography of Dynamic Postprandial Hepatic Stiffness Augmentation in Chronic Liver Disease
Introduction: Mesenteric blood flow increases markedly in response to the presence of food in the gut, with portal blood flow increasing up to 100% or more postprandially, compared with the fasting state (1). If the impedance to portal outflow remained constant, the increased flow would result in an increase in portal venous pressure. Yet, in normal humans, the portal venous pressure remains st...
متن کاملMR elastography of liver transplant patients using parallel imaging techniques
Background: Hepatitis C graft-infection after liver transplantation is seen in virtually all hepatitis-C-virus (HCV) positive patients and causes fibrosis. In magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) tissue mechanical properties are derived by analyzing externally introduced tissue vibrations using phase contrast based MRI [1]. MRE has already shown its strong potential in grading hepatic fibrosis...
متن کاملAssessment of liver viscoelasticity using multifrequency MR elastography.
MR elastography (MRE) allows the noninvasive assessment of the viscoelastic properties of human organs based on the organ response to oscillatory shear stress. Shear waves of a given frequency are mechanically introduced and the propagation is imaged by applying motion-sensitive gradients. An experiment was set up that introduces multifrequency shear waves combined with broadband motion sensiti...
متن کاملLiver elastography - an update.
Liver fibrosis evaluation is very important for treatment and prognosis in patients with chronic liver disease. The "gold-standard" method for liver fibrosis assessment is still considered to be the liver biopsy, but in the last years non-invasive methods have increasingly been used, especially ultrasound based elastographic ones. The oldest and the only validated elastographic method for non-i...
