This prospective study was performed to assess the
accuracy of MR elastography (MRE)-derived shear
stiffness values as predictors for non-alcoholic
steatohepatitis (NASH) and advanced fibrosis in adults
with known or suspected non-alcoholic fatty liver
disease (NAFLD), using contemporaneous liver biopsy as
reference. We found that MRE acquired using relatively
low-frequency mechanical waves and a 3D inversion
algorithm provides high accuracy in the diagnosis of
NASH and advanced fibrosis in patients with NAFLD.
