Fig. 2. Spin-echo magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) at 3T in a 29-year-old male living liver donor candidate (A-E) and gradient echo MRE at 3T in a 63-year-old cirrhotic male patient (F-J). Hepatobiliary phase images (A, F) demonstrate homogeneous contrast uptake. Magnitude (B, G) and wave (C, H) image data are converted into gray-scale (D, I) and color elastograms (E, J). Compared to the healthy donor, faster wave speed is depicted on wave images of the cirrhotic patient (H), consistent with higher liver stiffness on gray-scale and color elastograms (I, J).
