Magnetic Resonance Elastography and 2-Point Dixon MR Imaging Techniques in Diffuse Liver Disease

Pneumatic driver will be placed over the upper abdomen. Patient will feel a vibration (like a cell phone or beeper vibrating). This vibration will create very small waves in the body. The scanner will then receive the vibrations from the liver and use them to create images of the liver tissue.

Imaging performed after the MRE procedure and lasting 20-60 seconds. This procedure is useful in identifying fat tissue.
