Using MRI, what is my most precisely measured liver stiffness — especially if ultrasound accuracy might be limited?
Best for
Higher BMI patients (where ultrasound accuracy drops), an inconclusive F17-T2 result, or anyone wanting the most precise measurement from the start.

This is one of three independent liver tests — no test here is a prerequisite for another.
What's included
MRI Liver Elastography (MRE) — The most precise available liver stiffness measurement
LFT — Liver enzyme activity and protein levels
Viral Hepatitis Markers — HBsAg, Anti-HCV — rules out viral causes of liver disease
What normal doesn't rule out
the underlying cause of fibrosis if found — MRE measures stiffness, not the specific disease process causing it. That needs clinical correlation with your history.
Not included
Liver biopsy (only needed in specific cases, via hepatologist referral)
Not the right fit if
you have symptoms of acute liver disease — that needs urgent clinical evaluation, not a screening test. Also not for patients with MRI contraindications (certain metal implants, severe claustrophobia) — discuss with our team before booking.
Preparation
Preparation: Remove metal jewellery and inform our team of any implants before your MRI. No contrast dye is used for this scan. || Collection & eligibility: Home service coversblood collection only. MRI requires a centre visit. Self-bookable, no referral needed.
Result pathway
Normal
Low fibrosis — repeat periodically if risk factors persist
Borderline
Discuss monitoring frequency with your physician
Abnormal
Refer to a hepatologist for management
Urgent
Truscan's clinical team follows up per internal escalation protocol

MRI Elastography is the most precise non-invasive liver stiffness measurement available in this catalogue.
