Magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) was first described in 1995 and since then has become widely used to investigate various organs as a research tool. In the last few years, the technique has entered the clinical arena and can be used instead of liver biopsy to assess hepatic fibrosis. ... There is a strong emphasis on clinical applications throughout the book, particularly regarding liver disease. This makes the book of interest to clinical radiologists as well as those involved in research. (Dr. Edmund Godfrey, RAD Magazine, September, 2015)
