Elastography-based imaging techniques have received substantial attention in recent years
for non-invasive assessment of tissue mechanical properties. These techniques take …

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a disorder characterized by excess accumulation
of fat in hepatocytes (nonalcoholic fatty liver (NAFL)); in up to 40% of individuals, there are …

Background Given the association of NAFLD with metabolic risks, a name change to MAFLD
is proposed. We compared the long‐term outcomes of NAFLD and MAFLD. Methods We …

The diagnostic assessment of liver injury is an important step in the management of patients
with chronic liver disease (CLD). Although liver biopsy is the reference standard for the …

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

Liver fibrosis is characterized by the accumulation of extracellular matrix proteins such as
collagen in the liver interstitial space. All causes of chronic liver disease may lead to fibrosis …

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 …

Introduction: Non-invasive assessment of fibrosis is increasingly utilized in clinical practice
to diagnose hepatic fibrosis. Non-invasive assessment of liver fibrosis relies on biologic …

Liver MR elastography is an imaging technique used to measure liver stiffness in the
evaluation for possible fibrosis or cirrhosis. Liver stiffness measurement (LSM) is useful for …

OBJECTIVE. The purpose of the article is to review the diagnostic performance of ultra-
sound and MR elastography techniques for detection and staging of liver fibrosis, the main …
