Diagnostic Value of MR Elastography and MRI‐Proton Density Fat Fraction in Cirrhosis Based on Explant Liver Histology

Key Points

• The research aims to evaluate the diagnostic performance of MR elastography and MRI-proton density fat fraction for cirrhosis based on liver histology.
• Analyzed imaging data from patients with advanced fibrosis undergoing liver transplantation (LT)
• Assessed diagnostic accuracy of MRI and MR elastography
• Compared findings with histological analysis of explanted liver tissue
• MRI showed high accuracy in detecting cirrhosis and steatosis
• MRE effectively stratified the severity of cirrhosis
• Findings suggest potential for improved risk assessment in clinical settings
