Summary

How to construct a non-invasive, accurate, and convenient method to evaluate the severity of liver fibrosis (LF) is an important general problem in the management of patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB). We plan to investigate the ability of magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) to grade fibrosis in chronic hepatitis B and apply to clinical longitudinal follow-up.
