Featured Abstract
Head-to-head comparison of MR elastography-based liver stiffness, fat Fraction, and T1 relaxation time in identifying at-risk NASH
The presence of at-risk nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is associated with an increased risk of cirrhosis and complications. Therefore, noninvasive identification of at-risk NASH with an accurate biomarker is a critical need for pharmacologic therapy. We aim to explore the performance of several magnetic resonance (MR)-based imaging parameters in diagnosing at-risk NASH.
