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 …

Ultrasound devices and methodologies have been continuously evolving and becoming
more important as tools in diagnostic medicine. Recently a new ultrasound diagnostic …

Purpose To define normal values of liver elasticity measured by real-time tissue
elastography (RTE) in healthy infants and children. Methods RTE was performed on 91 …

Elastographic techniques are new ultrasound-based imaging techniques developed to
estimate tissue deformability/stiffness. Several ultrasound elastographic approaches have …

Tissue stiffness assessed by palpation for diagnosing pathology has been used for
thousands of years. Ultrasound elastography has been developed more recently to display …

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

Liver diseases of various etiologies are becoming increasingly common in the pediatric
population. So far, the gold diagnostic standard in these disorders is liver biopsy. This …

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 …

Objectives: Adult studies have proven ultrasound elastography as a validated measure of
liver fibrosis. The present study aimed to review the available literature on ultrasound …

Non-invasive techniques for liver fibrosis assessment were developed for adults and recent
researches tested their accuracy in children. The only validated elastographic method for …
