Utility of liver MRE in longitudinal clinical follow up. Top row (a-d) -A case of chronic hepatitis C with baseline liver stiffness of 4.2kPa (b) and a follow up MRE after 3 years following antiviral treatment showed reduced liver stiffness to 2.8kPa suggestive of response to treatment. Bottom row (e-h)-Another case of chronic hepatitis C with a baseline liver stiffness of 4.2kPa who showed progression of disease with liver stiffness increasing to 6.3kPa within one year. This patient later developed portal hypertension on follow up with stiffness increasing to 9.2kPa after 3 years (not shown). Note there are no significant morphological changes in liver on the T2-w images for both cases.
