[Abstract] In recent years, the prevalence of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) in China is rising, and has become the largest chronic liver disease in China. Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) includes nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFL), nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and its related liver cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Among them, NASH has a higher risk of developing liver cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Magnetic resonance elastic imaging (MRE) is of great value in the diagnosis and monitoring of the course of NAFLD. This article reviews the basic principle of MRE and its application in NAFLD.
