Magnetic resonance elastography and acoustic radiation force impulse for staging hepatic fibrosis: a meta-analysis.

Purpose: Elastography is a non-invasive method to quantify fibrosis based on tissue mechanical properties. We performed a meta-analysis to assess the diagnostic accuracy of two such techniques: Acoustic Radiation Force Impulse Imaging (ARFI) or Magnetic Resonance Elastography (MRE) for staging hepat...
