MRI Development Yields Breakthrough in Diagnosis of Liver Fibrosis

...ures are then processed to generate a quantitative image of tissue stiffness -- called an elastogram. Researchers compared results of the process on 12 patients with biopsy-proven liver fibrosis with those of 12 healthy participants. This pilot trial of MRE showed strikingly elevated stiffness in patient...
