These videos describe how magnetic resonance elastography (MRE), which was invented at Mayo Clinic, uses sound waves to detect liver fibrosis without a biopsy. They also demonstrate the growing demand for MRE in the healthcare field.
New test for liver disease
MRE allows healthcare professionals to use sound waves instead of doing a liver biopsy to see if a patient's liver is harder than it should be.
Mayo Clinic researchers discover a new way to find out if a liver is developing fibrosis.
MRE
MRE determines the stiffness (fibrosis) of the liver in patients with hepatitis C without needlesticks. This technology makes treating liver disease easier and more effective for many patients.
Mayo Clinic has developed a new technology that allows people with liver disease to be tested for fibrosis without a biopsy.
