| Research Abstract |
Objective : To preliminary evaluate the feasibility and usefulness of MR elastography (MRE) of the liver at 3 T with cine-tagging and bending energy (BE) analysis for the evaluation of hepatic fibrosis. Materials and Methods : Twenty-two patients underwent MRE with four different cine-tagging grids on the liver (16- or 20-mm sagittal or coronal). Nine images serially obtained during 1-second exhalation were analyzed to define coordinates of grid intersections. BE values were calculated using thin-plate spline method. BE values were compared among patient groups with different fibrosis stage thresholds. Results : In 22 patients, six had fibrosis score of F0, one had F1, seven had F2, three had F3, and five had F4. Mean BE value with 16-mm sagittal grid was greater with fibrosis score F0 (1.54±0.63) than with〓F1 (0.97±0.12, P=.013) as well as with〓F1 (1.48±0.60) than with〓F2 (0.96±0.36, P=.019). Conclusion : Our results showed that MR elastography with 16-mm sagittal grid and BE analysis had a potential in discrimination of patients with moderate or advanced hepatic fibrosis from those with healthy liver or slight fibrosis.
