To Protect Against Liver Disease, Body Puts Cells 'Under Arrest' Aug 23, 2008
(May 23, 2007) Two recent studies have found that magnetic resonance elastography (MRE), a new imaging technique is an accurate tool for non-invasive diagnosis of liver diseases. The liver responds to many diseases. (Science Daily)
MRI techniques evolving towards better assessment of liver fibrosis Jan 3, 2008
But the technology that is showing the greatest promise is magnetic resonance elastography, which quantitatively assesses tissue stiffness. Recent studies have shown that MR elastography has high sensitivity and specificity in detecting fibrosis stages. (EurekAlert!)
MRE Could Provide A Definitive Diagnosis For People With Muscle Pain, Study Shows Dec 1, 2007
A Mayo Clinic study published in the November issue of the Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation shows that magnetic resonance elastography, or MRE, can provide images of the affected muscle with clarity and insight not possible with magnetic resonance imaging, or MRI. While an MRI uses a magnetic field and radio waves to create clear and detailed cross-sectional images of the body's internal tissues and organs, an MRE measures the elasticity of tissue as it is gently vibrated....

New MRI Technology Enables Noninvasive Liver Diagnoses May 24, 2007
Two recent Mayo Clinic studies have found that magnetic resonance elastography (MRE), a new imaging technique invented at Mayo Clinic, is an accurate tool for non-invasive diagnosis of liver diseases. The liver responds to many diseases that damage its cells by developing scar tissue or fibrosis. (Science Daily)
New Mayo Clinic MRI technology enables noninvasive liver diagnoses May 23, 2007
-- Two recent Mayo Clinic studies have found that magnetic resonance elastography (MRE), a new imaging technique invented at Mayo Clinic, is an accurate tool for non-invasive diagnosis of liver diseases. The findings will be presented this week at the International Society for Magnetic Resonance in Medicine Annual Meeting in Berlin, Germany, and Digestive Disease Week 2007 in Washington, D.C..
