This prospective study compares different techniques: IVIM DWI, MR elastography and ultrasound elastography, for staging of liver fibrosis in HCV patients. When comparing MRI and ultrasound findings with histologic findings, liver stiffness (measured with MR elastography and ultrasound) showed better performances than IVIM DWI for the detection of liver fibrosis.
