Abstract
Accurate detection of hepatic fibrosis is crucial for assessing prognosis and the treatment in patients with chronic liver disease. As a new noninvasive imaging technique, Magnetic resonance elastograhpy (MRE) can assess tissue elasticity and achieve accurate assessment of liver fibrosis. Making patients free of biopsy examination, MRE has great value for study and promising future for application.
