Magnetic resonance elastography predicts advanced fibrosis in patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease: A prospective study
Rohit Loomba, Tanya Wolfson, Brandon Ang, Jonathan Hooker, Cynthia Behling, Michael Peterson, Mark Valasek, Grace Lin, David Brenner, Anthony Gamst, Richard Ehman, Claude Sirlin – 8 August 2014 – Retrospective studies have shown that two‐dimensional magnetic resonance elastography (2D‐MRE), a novel MR method for assessment of liver stiffness, correlates with advanced fibrosis in patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Prospective data on diagnostic accuracy of 2D‐MRE in the detection of advanced fibrosis in NAFLD are needed.

Pretransplant diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma by gadoxetic acid–enhanced and diffusion‐weighted magnetic resonance imaging
Jiyoung Hwang, Young Kon Kim, Jong Man Kim, Won Jae Lee, Dongil Choi, Seong Sook Hong – 8 August 2014 – We sought to evaluate the diagnostic performance of gadoxetic acid–enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with and without additional diffusion‐weighted imaging (DWI) in the detection of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) in pretransplant patients. We included 63 liver transplant patients (54 men and 9 women; mean age = 52 years) who had undergone gadoxetic acid–enhanced MRI with DWI at 3.0 T within 90 days before transplantation.
