Heterogeneity of fibrosis demonstrated with MRE. (a) Patient with chronic hepatitis B with METAVIR stage F2 fibrosis has slightly heterogeneous, elevated liver stiffness, averaging 3.6kPa. (b) A patient with primary sclerosing cholangitis has substantial heterogeneity with increased stiffness peripherally and a mean value of 4.2 kPa. Preliminary experience suggests that this pattern is more common in patients with primary sclerosing cholangitis (c) A patient with cirrhosis due to hepatitis C has marked heterogeneity and a mean hepatic stiffness value of 7.3kPa.
