Hey Kalio! thanks for these particulary hopeful articles...I wonder when these elasto mri machines (prob wrong spelling) will be available to hospitals? thinking of calling them, I know, prob not for awhile, but man, that sure beats biopsy...thanks for this, be well...

These do sound great! Did you get your new computer yet? I hope so, I know it was impossible to type with yours missing all those letters. Hope you are doing well.

THanks - elastogram - what a cool name.  It soounds like it will be helpful to detect cirrhosis but maybe not so helpul to detect the lesser stages of liver disease (?)
