Innovations in medical imaging technologies have revolutionized medicine and generated examples of rapid translation to the clinic. Magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) is a noninvasive technique to quantify tissue stiffness. In this commentary, key events in the translation of MRE from laboratory into clinical practice are highlighted. We focus on key science and technology, application to chronic liver diseases, key clinical studies, the FDA approval process, and its influence on current and future medical practice.
