Magnetic Resonance vs Transient Elastography Analysis of Patients With Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease: a Systematic Review and Pooled Analysis of Individual Participants

Magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) and transient elastography (TE) are noninvasive techniques for detection of liver fibrosis. Single-center studies have compared the diagnostic performance of MRE vs TE in patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). We conducted a pooled analysis of individual participant data from published studies to compare the diagnostic performance of MRE vs TE for staging of liver fibrosis in patients with NAFLD, using liver biopsy as reference.
