General review of magnetic resonance elastography

Figure 7 A patient with non-alcoholic steatohepatitis has a cirrhotic liver with stigmata of portal hypertension including splenomegaly, ascites, esophageal varices, splenorenal shunts and other collaterals. The left image shows mechanical waves throughout the liver and the spleen. In the resulting elastogram (right), both the liver and the spleen show very high shear stiffness values of over 20 kPa.
