A prediction model for the grade of liver fibrosis using magnetic resonance elastography

Abstract Background Liver stiffness measurement (LSM) has recently become available for assessment of liver fibrosis. We aimed to develop a prediction model for liver fibrosis using clinical variables, including LSM. Methods We performed a prospective study to compare liver fibrosis grade with fibro...
