The noninvasive quantitation of liver stiffness (LS) by ultrasound based transient
elastography using FibroScan® has revolutionized the diagnosis of liver diseases, namely …

The development of ultrasound-based elasticity imaging methods has been the focus of
intense research activity since the mid-1990s. In characterizing the mechanical properties of …

Chronic infection with hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a leading cause of liver-related morbidity
and mortality worldwide and predisposes to liver fibrosis and end-stage liver complications …

Conclusions: LSM from TE, shear wave elastography, and MRE shows acceptable to
outstanding accuracy for the detection of liver fibrosis across various liver disease etiologies …

OBJECTIVES: Transient elastography (TE) is adequate for a diagnosis of cirrhosis, but its
accuracy for milder stages of fibrosis is much less satisfactory. The objective of this study …

BACKGROUND: Liver biopsy is the reference standard for diagnosing the extent of fibrosis
in chronic liver disease; however, it is invasive, with the potential for serious complications …

The presence and degree of hepatic fibrosis is crucial in order to make therapeutic decisions
and predict clinical outcomes. Currently, the place of liver biopsy as the standard of …

Transient elastography (TE) is a new technique for the non-invasive assessment of liver
fibrosis. The degree of fibrosis is equivalent to the liver stiffness measured in kilopascal …

Aim: To establish the influence of different factors on the correlation between liver stiffness
(LS) measurements by ARFI and liver fibrosis, evaluated by liver biopsy (LB). We assessed …

Background and aims: Liver stiffness measurement (LSM) by transient elastography (TE) is
widely used for the noninvasive assessment of fibrosis. Our objectives were to examine the …
