High-resolution stiffness maps of the liver and kidney transplant (KTx) were generated after direct-acting antiviral therapy using multifrequency magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) and tomoelastography data processing in KTx recipients with chronic hepatitis C infection. Changes in liver stiffness after viral clearance were related to the immediate reduction in the inflammatory response in the early period and were stable until one year after end of treatment. MRE promises to be an early predictor for therapeutic success in HCV treatment.
