Magnetic resonance and ultrasound elastography techniques are now important tools for
staging high-grade fibrosis in patients with chronic liver disease. However, uncertainty …

Elastography provides significant information on staging of fibrosis in patients with liver
disease and may be of some value in assessing steatosis. However, there remain questions …

Background & Aims Quantitative shear wave elastography was shown to be an effective tool
for the non-invasive diagnosis and staging of chronic liver diseases. The liver shear …

Chronic liver disease has multiple causes, many of which are increasing in prevalence. The
final common pathway of chronic liver disease is tissue destruction and attempted …

Chronic liver diseases are a substantial worldwide problem that are increasing in
prevalence. All forms of chronic liver disease have the potential to lead to a deposition of …

Chronic liver diseases often result in the development of liver fibrosis and ultimately,
cirrhosis. Treatment strategies and prognosis differ greatly depending on the severity of liver …

Elastography has emerged as a preferred non-invasive imaging technique for the clinical
assessment of liver fibrosis. Elastography methods provide liver stiffness measurement …

A framework is developed for estimating the volume fraction of fat in steatotic livers from
viscoelastic measures of shear wave speed and attenuation. These measures are emerging …

A number of new approaches to measure the viscoelastic properties of the liver are now
available to clinicians, many involving shear waves. However, we are at an early stage in …

In shear wave elastography, rotational wave speeds are converted to elasticity measures
using elastodynamic theory. The method has a wide range of applications and is the gold …
