Aims This meta‐analysis aims to compare the diagnostic performance of acoustic radiation
force impulse (ARFI) elastography and transient elastography (TE) in the assessment of liver …

Conventional imaging techniques cannot provide information about tissue mechanical
properties. Many injuries can cause changes in tissue stiffness, especially tumors and …

We present here the first update of the 2013 EFSUMB (European Federation of Societies for
Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology) Guidelines and Recommendations on the clinical use …

Abstract The World Federation for Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology (WFUMB) has
produced these guidelines for the use of elastography techniques in liver disease. For each …

The Society of Radiologists in Ultrasound convened a panel of specialists from radiology,
hepatology, pathology, and basic science and physics to arrive at a consensus regarding …

The clinical part of these Guidelines and Recommendations produced under the auspices of
the European Federation of Societies for Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology EFSUMB …

Real-time shear wave elastography (SWE) is a novel, noninvasive method to assess liver
fibrosis by measuring liver stiffness. This single-center study was conducted to assess the …

Liver fibrosis is part of the structural and functional alterations in most chronic liver diseases.
It is one of the main prognostic factors as the amount of fibrosis is correlated with the risk of …

Although liver fibrosis reflects disease severity in chronic hepatitis patients, there has been
no simple and accurate system to evaluate the therapeutic effect based on fibrosis. We …

BACKGROUND & AIMS: We evaluated whether spleen stiffness (SS), measured by acoustic
radiation force impulse imaging, can identify patients who have esophageal varices (EVs); …
