MRI elastography works on the principle that healthy tissues are more elastic than diseased or fibrotic tissues. MRI elastography uses computer assistance to measure how low frequency vibrations move through liver tissue. The imaging procedure generates color-coded maps, identifying softer tissues with warmer colors like red and yellow, and stiffer areas with cooler tones like blue and green. This visual representation aids in quickly identifying abnormal places within the liver for early disease detection, and enables your radiologist and referring clinician to rapidly compare results with previous tests, so even small changes can be easily identified.
