In
this study we evaluated liver stiffness in healthy volunteers using magnetic
resonance elastography (MRE) at 3T with the same technique that has been
successfully applied at 1.5T. This preliminary work demonstrates the
feasibility of liver stiffness evaluation at 3T without modification of the
approach used at 1.5T.
