Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Liver Stiffness

    Liver stiffness is a measure of a mechanical property of tissue (stiffness). This can be measured non-invasively by MR elastography, a technique that involves applying an external vibration to the abdomen and measuring the progression of shear waves through the underlying liver using MRI. Purpose of the study was to determine normal (healthy) liver stiffness as measured by MRE

    During investigation

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Cross-platform Variability
