Factors confounding the tissue stiffness measured using MRE

Confounding factor	Direction of effect	Examples scenarios
Iron/T₂*	Loss of SNR	Patients with B-Thalassemia
Inflammation	Positive	Patients with AIH
Congestion	Positive	Patients with Fontan
Magnetic-field (B₀) inhomogeneity	Positive	Bowel gas, poor shim
Steatosis/fat	Negative	Patients with NAFLD, NASH
Renal stenosis	Negative	Patients with renal artery stenosis or perfusion defects
Renal perfusion	Positive	Large hydration volume or higher renal perfusion pressure can alter renal stiffness

: A “positive” direction of the effect means that an increase in the confounding factor leads to an increase in measured stiffness and hence an overestimation of the fibrosis, and a “negative” direction of the effect means that decreases the confounding factor lead to a potential under estimation of stiffness
