Results: There was a significant correlation between liver stiffness and fibrosis stage (ρ=
0.939; P< 0.0001). The ROC curve AUC were 0.871, 0.895 and 0.937 for fibrosis stages F2 …

Objectives Elasticity measurements of tissues can be valuable in the diagnosis and
management of various diseases. The aim of this study was to determine the elasticity …

Purpose To determine normal reference values of liver elasticity and measurement reliability
by using real-time shear-wave elastography (SWE) in patients with a range of ages and …

Background Shear wave elastography is an ultrasound applied technique used to measure
tissue stiffness as a result of a disease. So, it can be used to evaluate liver stiffness as a …

AIM: To evaluate liver stiffness measurement (LSM) using non-invasive transient
elastography (Fibroscan) in comparison with liver biopsy for assessment of liver fibrosis in …

Objective To assess the diagnostic performance of shear-wave elastography for determining
the severity of liver fibrosis in children and adolescents. Methods An electronic literature …

Objectives The aim of this study was to determine the effect of cystic fibrosis (CF) on
pancreas and liver elasticity in young children using point shear wave elastography and to …

Background The identification and subsequent management of liver diseases in children is
challenging due to the lack of non-invasive imaging biomarkers. Ultrasound shear-wave …

AIM: To investigate enough valid measurements (VMs) to assess liver fibrosis in chronic
hepatitis B patients (CHB). METHODS: One hundred and twelve CHB patients (25 women …

Background Children with biliary atresia rapidly develop liver fibrosis secondary to
inflammatory destruction of the biliary tract. Noninvasive detection of liver fibrosis in …
