Abstract

PURPOSE: Magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) measures liver stiffness for fibrosis staging, but its utility can be hindered by quality control (QC) challenges and measurement variability. The objective of the study was to fully automate liver MRE QC and liver stiffness measurement (LSM) using a deep learning (DL) method.
