Abstract:Background and AimMagnetic resonance elastography (MRE) is used for the evaluation of liver fibrosis; however, it remains unclear whether MRE‐based liver stiffness is associated with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) development, particularly in patients with chronic hepatitis B.MethodsA total of 504 patients with chronic hepatitis B receiving MRE were enrolled. The primary endpoint was the association between MRE‐based liver stiffness and HCC.ResultsIn a cross‐sectional analysis at the time of MRE measurement, t… Show more
