Background Transient elastography (TE) is an innovative, noninvasive technique to assess
liver fibrosis by measuring liver stiffness in patients with chronic liver diseases. The purpose …

OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this study was to use 2D ultrasound shear wave elastography
(SWE) to define expected ranges for liver shear wave speed and shear wave dispersion in …

Objectives We aimed to establish normal values for liver stiffness measurement, performed
by 2‐dimensional shear wave elastography (LOGIQ E9; GE Healthcare, Wauwatosa, WI), in …

Background Complications from liver cirrhosis are a leading cause of death in children with
cystic fibrosis. Identifying children at risk for developing liver cirrhosis and halting its …

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 …

Objectives: To assess performance and cutoffs of the 2-dimensional shear wave
elastography technique available on the Aplio i800 ultrasound system (Canon Medical …

Purpose The purpose of this study was to determine the usefulness of point shear wave
elastography (p-SWE) of the liver and spleen for the detection of portal hypertension in …

Real-time shear wave elastography (SWE) is a novel two-dimensional elastographic method
that is used to estimate the severity of liver fibrosis. However, the normal range of liver …

Background A limited number of publications correlate bidimensional shear-wave
elastography (2-D SWE) and stages of liver fibrosis in children. Objective To correlate liver …

BACKGROUND: The assessment of liver damage in various disease states relies on a
combination of clinical findings, biochemical parameters and invasive tests such as liver …
