Magnetic resonance elastography of healthy livers at 3.0 T: Normal liver stiffness measured by SE-EPI and GRE
European Journal of Radiology Aug 21, 2018
Bae JS, et al. - In this retrospective study, researchers determined the normal liver stiffness values using magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) at 3.0 T as well as compared spin-echo echo planar imaging (SE-EPI) and gradient recalled echo (GRE) MRE. Participants in the study were 54 living liver donors who had normal clinical and pathological results without underlying liver disease and had MRE using both SE-EPI and GRE at 3.0 T. According to the findings obtained, the mean liver stiffness values in living donors measured by SE-EPI and GRE were not affected by gender, age, or body mass index and displayed excellent interobserver agreement. It was noted that the area of regions of interest (ROI) was larger with GRE than with SE-EPI.
