The extracellular matrix (ECM) and its mechanical properties play an important role in
regulating the cellular responses that occur during tissue regeneration, wound healing, and …

Background & Aims Celiac disease is a major public health problem worldwide. Although
initially it was reported from countries with predominant Caucasian populations, it now has …

Chronic liver diseases often result in the development of liver fibrosis and ultimately,
cirrhosis. Treatment strategies and prognosis differ greatly depending on the severity of liver …

Background & Aims Magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) is a noninvasive tool for
staging liver fibrosis. We conducted a meta-analysis of individual participant data collected …

Many pathological processes cause marked changes in the mechanical properties of tissue.
MR elastography (MRE) is a noninvasive MRI based technique for quantitatively assessing …

Magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) is a versatile imaging technique for mapping the
viscoelastic properties of soft biological tissues. It has been widely used to detect liver …

Objectives We conducted an individual participant data (IPD) pooled analysis on diagnostic
accuracy of MRE to detect fibrosis stage in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease …

Neurological disorders are one of the most important public health concerns in developed
countries. Established brain imaging techniques such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) …

Purpose To document utility of shear-wave (SW) elastography for assessing liver fibrosis in
chronic hepatitis B and to compare its performance with that of transient elastography …

Liver fibrosis is characterized by the accumulation of extracellular matrix proteins such as
collagen in the liver interstitial space. All causes of chronic liver disease may lead to fibrosis …
