MRE Solution for Radiology - Medical / Health Care
MRE offers Radiologists and referrers a powerful new option for liver assessment. This non-invasive approach can enable more frequent evaluation when closer monitoring is needed. By creating a visual representation of liver tissue stiffness, MRE helps radiologists deliver a more confident diagnosis at a lower cost than previous techniques.

Both comprehensive and non-invasive, MRE can appeal to patients and physicians, and can help expand the role of radiology into new areas. Recognized by both Radiology and Gastroenterology societies as a vital tool for liver fibrosis assessment, MRE is poised to help tackle the growing epidemics of Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD) and Non-alcoholic Steatohepatitis (NASH).
How it Works?
- The image is captured in as little as 14 seconds, or one breath hold, in three steps:
- A simple, drum-like driver generates acoustic waves within the tissue of interest.
- A special MRI technique images minute displacements of the tissue that result from wave propagation.
- An advanced mathematical technique generates maps of tissue stiffness, known as “elastograms”.
