New Test for Liver Disease-Mayo Clinic

Wow, no more Liver Biopsy’s! Hope my Ins company will authorize this next year…
Mayo Clinic is #1 by FAR!
I had the MRE done along with the MRI which showed the stroke in the left temporal lobe works great!!!
I wonder why they don’t do this more…maybe because it costs more. ;(
