Cardiac-induced liver deformation as a measure of liver stiffness using dynamic imaging without magnetization tagging —preclinical proof-of-concept, clinical translation, reproducibility and feasibility in patients with cirrhosis

ConclusionCardiac-induced LD is a conceptually reasonable approach from preclinical studies, measurements demonstrate good reproducibility and inter-reader variability, are less likely to be affected by hepatic hemodynamic changes and are feasible in patients with cirrhosis.Grahpic Abstract
