Diagnostic comparison of vibration-controlled transient elastography and MRI techniques in overweight and obese patients with NAFLD

Abstract Non-invasive imaging techniques have greatly advanced the assessment of liver fibrosis and steatosis but are not fully evaluated in overweight patients. We evaluated the diagnostic performance of vibration-controlled transient elastography (VCTE) and magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) to...
