Liver magnetic resonance elastography and fat fraction in pediatric patients with cystic fibrosis versus healthy children
ConclusionsPatients with CF had higher liver stiffness than the control group, and patients with CF-related liver disease had higher liver stiffness than both the CF patients without CF-related liver disease and the control group. Patients with CF had a higher fat fraction than the control group. Noninvasive assessment of liver involvement using MR elastography/spectroscopy can support the diagnosis of CF-related liver disease and the follow-up of patients with CF.Graphical abstract
