MRE plus Fib-4 prove highly accurate in liver fibrosis detection
Researchers have found that coupling image-based and serum-based biomarkers achieves a higher diagnostic accuracy in detecting stage 2 liver fibrosis or above, than using the techniques separately. They reached their conclusions after using magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) in tandem with the serum-based Fib-4 clinical prediction rule.
