Nodular regenerative hyperplasia (NRH) is characterized by diffuse parenchymal nodularity of the liver with small regenerative nodules, leading to possible portal hypertension. Differentiating NRH from cirrhosis on standard imaging is difficult. We evaluated the potential utility of MRI and MR Elastography (MRE) in differentiating NRH and cirrhosis.
