Diffuse liver disease, including chronic liver disease, affects tens of millions of people worldwide, and there is a growing need for diagnostic evaluation as treatments become more readily available, particularly for viral liver diseases. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provides unique capabilities for noninvasive characterization of the liver tissue that rival or surpass the diagnostic utili...

Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) have been linked to changes in amino acid (AA) levels. The objective of the current study was examine relationship between MRI parameters that reflect inflammation fibrosis plasma AA concentrations NAFLD patients. Plasma levels 97 patients from MAST4HEALTH were quantified with liquid chromatography. Medical, anth...

Hepatocellular adenoma (HCA) is a rare and benign liver tumor that affects predominantly young middle-aged women, especially between 30–40 years old. Liver adenomatosis (LA) defined as the presence of 10 or more HCA. There are authors report eight different subtypes HCA, correlates with clinical histopathological features, being inflammatory subtype most common. We present case 32-year-old Cauc...

Among the few non-invasive methods to quantify liver iron deposits, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and biomagnetic liver susceptometry (BLS) have been considered the best to evaluate iron overload in the body. This diagnosis is necessary for patients who regularly receive red blood cells transfusion and that have a genetic disorder known as hemochromatosis. In this work, we present the evalua...

As the utility of liver-specific magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) increases, it is pertinent to optimize and expand protocols to improve accuracy and foster evolution of techniques; in turn, positive impacts should be seen in patient management. This article reports on the latest expert thinking and current evidence in the field of liver-specific MRI, as discussed at the 6(th) International For...

Holograms can shape wavefronts to produce arbitrary acoustic images. In this work, we experimentally demonstrate how holograms controlled thermal patterns in absorbing media at ultrasonic frequencies. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-compatible holographic ultrasound lenses were designed by time-reversal methods and manufactured using 3D-printing. Several measured MRI thermometry a thermographi...
