Reproducibility of hepatic MR elastography across field strengths, pulse sequences, scan intervals, and readers.

The magnitude of change across combinations of scan parameters is within acceptable clinical range, rendering liver stiffness through MRE a reproducible quantitative imaging biomarker. A lower reproducibility was observed for measurements under different field strengths/MRE sequences at a longer (2 weeks) interscan interval. Operators should be trained to acquire region of interest consistently in repeat examinations.
