A new study using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) evaluated successfully the transverse relaxation time T2 as a non-invasive imaging biomarker for monitoring hepatic fibrogenesis in schistosomiasis. However, there are some drawbacks that need special attention. This preliminary data opens new opportunities to understand and monitor liver fibrosis in schistosomiasis and other fibrogenic diseases.
