Liver MR Elastography Technique and Image Interpretation: Pearls and Pitfalls

Liver MR elastography is an imaging technique used to measure liver stiffness in the evaluation for possible fibrosis or cirrhosis. Liver stiffness measurement (LSM) is useful for predicting the stage of liver fibrosis. However, obtaining and reporting accurate and reliable LSMs with MR elastography require an understanding of the three core components of liver MR elastography: optimization of imaging technique, prompt quality control of images,...
