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 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 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 کاملGenerating Synthetic Computed Tomography and Synthetic Magnetic Resonance (sMR: sT1w/sT2w) Images of the Brain Using Atlas-Based Method
Introduction: Nowadays, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in combination with computed-tomography (CT) is increasingly being used in radiation therapy planning. MR and CT images are applied to determine the target volume and calculate dose distribution, respectively. Since the use of these two imaging modalities causes registration uncertainty and increases department w...
متن کاملQuantitative assessment of hepatic fibrosis in an animal model with magnetic resonance elastography.
Chronic liver disease is a world-wide problem that causes progressive hepatic fibrosis as a hallmark of progressive injury. At present, the gold standard for diagnosing hepatic fibrosis is liver biopsy, which is an invasive method with many limitations, including questionable accuracy and risks of complications. MR elastography (MRE), a phase-contrast MRI technique for quantitatively assessing ...
