The first clinical application of magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) was in the evaluation of chronic liver disease (CLD) for detection and staging of liver fibrosis. In the past ten years, MRE has been incorporated seamlessly into a standard MRI liver protocol worldwide. Liver MRE is a robust technique for evaluation of liver stiffness and is currently the most accurate non-invasive imaging technology for evaluation of liver fibrosis. Newer MRE sequences including spin echo MRE and three- dimensional MRE have helped in reducing the technical limitations of clinical liver MRE that is performed with 2D GRE MRE. Advances in MRE technology has led to understanding of newer mechanical parameters such as dispersion, attenuation and viscoelasticity that may be useful in evaluating pathological processes in chronic liver disease and may prove useful in their management. This review article will describe the changes in CLD that cause increase in stiffness followed by principle and technique of liver MRE. In the later part of the review, we will briefly discuss the advances in liver MRE.
