Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a noninvasive medical imaging technique based on a phenomenon of nuclear physics discovered in the 1930s, in which matter exposed to magnetic fields and radio waves was found to emit radio signals. In 1970, a physician and researcher named Raymond Damadian noticed that malignant (cancerous) tissue gave off different signals than normal body tissue. He applied for a patent for the first MRI scanning device in clinical use by the early 1980s. The early MRI...

Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization (MALDI)

Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization (MALDI)

Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization (MALDI) is a powerful analytical technique used in mass spectrometry. It enables the identification and characterization of various biomolecules, including proteins, peptides, nucleic acids, and carbohydrates. MALDI is an ionization technique, widely employed in biological and medical research, as well as in fields like pharmacology and biochemistry.The analyte of interest, a biomolecule or a mixture of biomolecules, is mixed with a suitable matrix...

Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System IV: CMRI

Cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging, or CMRI, is a non-invasive diagnostic test that employs a magnetic field and radiofrequency waves to create precise images of the heart and arteries. It provides comprehensive information about cardiac anatomy, function, perfusion, and tissue characterization without ionizing radiation.IndicationsCMRI diagnoses various heart conditions, including tissue damage from heart attacks, ischemic heart disease, myocarditis, aortic issues (tears, aneurysms,...

Hepatology
Radiology
Medical Imaging

Background:

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is the leading cause of chronic liver disease globally.
MASLD prevalence is increasing, posing risks for cirrhosis, liver cancer, and mortality.
Early detection and staging are vital for managing MASLD as new treatments emerge.

Purpose of the Study:

To review imaging-based evaluations for MASLD.
To emphasize the role of imaging in assessing steatosis, fibrosis, and complications.
To discuss advanced quantitative techniques and emerging biomarkers.

Main Methods:

Literature search of PubMed and Scopus for peer-reviewed publications (2000-present).
Inclusion of clinical trials, expert reviews, and major guidelines.
Evaluation of ultrasound, CT, MRI, and advanced elastography techniques.

Main Results:

Imaging is central to precision hepatology for MASLD risk stratification.
Advanced quantitative techniques like MRI proton density fat fraction and various elastographies are summarized.
Emerging biomarkers such as sarcopenia and visceral adiposity are discussed.

Conclusions:

Imaging enables comprehensive, noninvasive assessment of MASLD.
Integration of clinical data, imaging, and elastography enhances individualized care.
Imaging plays a key role in monitoring treatment and predicting outcomes for MASLD patients.
