A comparison of MR elastography and 31P MR spectroscopy with histological staging of liver fibrosis.

Objectives: Conventional imaging techniques are insensitive to liver fibrosis. This study assesses the diagnostic accuracy of MR elastography (MRE) stiffness values and the ratio of phosphomonoesters (PME)/phosphodiesters (PDE) measured using (31)P spectroscopy against histological fibrosis staging....
