Resumen

La fibrosis es un destino donde convergen variados trastornos hepáticos. Al tratarse de un proceso dinámico y reversible, su detección temprana y una intervención terapéutica oportuna, pueden frenar su progresión. La elastografía por resonancia magnética (ERM), es un método no invasivo con notable eficacia para la valoración del grado de fibrosis hepática. La tendencia actual es combinar esa técnica con secuencias de cuantificación de lípidos y hierro, lo cual permite un abordaje multiparamétrico de los trastornos difusos del hígado.

Abstract

Fibrosis is a common destination where multiple liver disorders converge. Due to its dynamic and reversible process, an early detection and timely therapeutic intervention can interrupt its progression. Magnetic Resonance Elastography (MRE) is a non-invasive method with remarkable efficacy for assessing the degree of liver fibrosis. The current trend is to combine this technique with lipid and iron quantification sequences, which allows a multiparametric approach to diffuse liver disorders.

Palabras clave
