Currently, the tumor response of operated colorectal liver metastases is assessed by histology of the resection specimen.The histological data make it possible to define categories (responder, partial responder, non-responder). Overall survival (OS: overall survival) after surgery crucially depends on the response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Current criteria for predicting histological response in preoperative imaging are not satisfactory. The working hypothesis is that it is possible to better differentiate the tissue response to conventional chemotherapies and anti-angiogenics through MRI elastography by quantifying the changes in tissue mechanical properties induced by systemic treatments. The objectives is to evaluate the mechanical properties obtained by elasto MRI according to the systemic treatments envisaged: conventional chemotherapy such as Folfox or combined with targeted therapy

Addition of an MRI elasto sequence performed during MRI performed as part of the treatment
Evaluate elasticity obtained by elasto MRI according to the systemic treatments selected: conventional purified type Folfox or associated with a targeted therapy
The Primary endpoint is variation in the measurement of the elasticity of the metastases by elastography-MRI between the baseline MRI and the follow-up MRI according to the morphological response criteria RECIST1.1
Time frame: 6 months

Time frame: 6 months
Correlate in operated patients the mechanical properties obtained by elastomeric MRI with the histological response.
Measurement of the elasticity and viscosity of the metastases by preoperative elastography-MRI according to the histological response classified as complete response, partial response (viable tissue less than 50% of the tumor volume), or non-responder (viable tissue greater than 50% of the tumor volume).
