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
