Assessment of Hepatic Fibrosis in Liver Transplant Patients using MR Elastography - preliminary results
Background and Purpose: Liver transplantation is an ultimate therapeutic option for end-stage liver disease. In the context of liver cirrhosis caused by viral hepatitis, it is known that re-infection of the graft occurs frequently and that progression of fibrosis advances more quickly in the transplanted organ [1]. Therefore, a closer follow-up is necessary including frequent biopsies for gradi...
متن کاملElastography in Chronic Liver Disease: Modalities, Techniques, Limitations, and Future Directions1
Chronic liver disease has multiple causes, many of which are increasing in prevalence. The final common pathway of chronic liver disease is tissue destruction and attempted regeneration, a pathway that triggers fibrosis and eventual cirrhosis. Assessment of fibrosis is important not only for diagnosis but also for management, prognostic evaluation, and follow-up of patients with chronic liver d...

متن کاملState-of-the-art imaging of liver fibrosis and cirrhosis: A comprehensive review of current applications and future perspectives.
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this article is to provide a comprehensive overview of imaging findings in patients with hepatic fibrosis and cirrhosis; and to describe which radiological/clinical modality is best for staging hepatic fibrosis. CONCLUSION MR elastography (MRE) appears to be the most reliable method for grading liver fibrosis, although the CT fibrosis score derived from the combinatio...
متن کاملAssessment of transient elastography (FibroScan) for diagnosis of fibrosis in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease: A systematic review and meta-analysis
Background: Transient elastography (TE) is a new modality for the diagnosis of liver fibrosis caused by various etiologies. This study was conducted to determine the accuracy of TE in detecting the different stages of liver fibrosis in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) patients. Methods: MEDLINE/PubMed, Embase, Ovid, Cochrane Library, American College of Physicians (ACP) Journal Club...
