Abstract
SUMMARY
Purpose: To evaluate the initial result of liver magnetic resonance elastography was performed in the patients and to compared with fibroscan.
Methods and Materials: We retrospectively 210 patients was performed MR elastography, with 80 patients was performed MRE and Fibriscan at Medic medical center from July 2016 to June 2017, age range, 31-71 years. All the patients executed MRE on the GE signa explorer 1,5T MRI, and on Fibroscan of Echosens.
Results: In 210 patients was executed MRE, No. of patients no Fibrosis (F0): 29; Light fibrosis (F1): 39; Significant fibrosis (F2): 36; progressive fibrosis (F3): 41; Cirrhossis (F4): 65. Had detected
12 tumors (5 HCC, 1 FNH, 6 Hemangioma) and 14 cysts in liver. In 80 patients was executed MRE and Fibroscan: 9 patients F0 with MRE, the same 3F0 and 6F1 with Fibroscan; 12 patients F1 with
MRE, same 5F1 and 7F2 with Fibroscan; 20 patients F2 with MRE, same 16F2 and 4F3 with Fibroscan; 15 patients F3 with MRE, same
13F3 and 2F4 with fibroscan; 24 patients F4 with MRE, same 24F4 with Fibroscan.
Conclusion: MRE is a reliable non-invasive technique, safer, less expensive for evaluating hepatic fibrosis. Can be carried out at the same time as MRI examination with a search for hepatic tumor, and performed in most patients with liver disease including those with ascites or obesity. Can replace the method of liver biopsy unnecessary, risk of complications.
