Abstract TE and 2D-SWE are well-documented in studies performed on adults, but those on
pediatric patients are limited. The aim of this study was to establish pediatric reference …

Abstract Changes in liver structure are an important issue in chronic hepatopathies. Until the
end of the 20 th century, these changes could only be determined by histological analyses of …

Background Two-dimensional (2-D) shear wave elastography is a commonly used
sonographic elastography method for the noninvasive measurement of liver stiffness. There …

Background: The diagnostic performance of TE and MRE in detecting advanced fibrosis in
PBC and in predicting outcomes independent of existing serologic prognostic markers is …

Abstract Background and Aim: Liver stiffness (LS) measurement can distinguish individuals
with potential liver disease (LD) from the general population. However, if LS is sex‐sensitive …

Background Transient elastography (TE) is an FDA approved, non-invasive tool to estimate
liver stiffness measurement (LSM) in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) …

Abstract Background and Aims Liver stiffness measurement (LSM) has been shown to
adequately predict outcomes in patients with liver disease. However, the value of LSM as a …

Abstract Background and Aims Several studies reported an association between liver
stiffness measurement (LSM) obtained through vibration‐controlled transient elastography …

Background. The success of liver stiffness measurement (LSM) by transient elastography
(TE, FibroScan) is influenced by anthropometric factors. In smaller adults, the M probe may …

AIM: To evaluate transient elastography (TE) as a noninvasive tool in staging liver fibrosis
compared with liver biopsy and morphometry in children with different chronic liver diseases …
