Abstract Background and Aim Traditional pathological scoring systems for liver fibrosis
progression are predominantly based on the description of architectural changes with no …

AIM: To estimate the validity of the point shear-wave elastography method by evaluating its
reproducibility and accuracy for assessing liver stiffness. METHODS: This was a single …

Purpose To identify the minimum number of measurements required for the noninvasive
assessment of liver fibrosis by using point shear-wave elastography (pSWE) and determine …

AIM: To evaluate the correlation between liver stiffness measurement (LSM) by real-time
shear wave elastography (SWE) and liver fibrosis stage and the accuracy of LSM for …

Evaluation of hepatic fibrosis is essential to prevent liver-related morbidity and mortality.
Although various types of ultrasound shear wave elastography (SWE) have been used and …

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 Liver stiffness (LS) measured by transient elastography (TE) accurately predicts
the severity of chronic liver diseases (CLD). Point quantification shear‐wave elastography …

AIM: To evaluate the correlation of shear wave elastography (SWE) results with liver fibrosis
histology and quantitative function reserve. METHODS: Weekly subcutaneous injection of …

Liver stiffness measurement (LSM) by Fibroscan is the most used non-invasive method to
assess liver fibrosis. Recently, point-shear wave elastography (pSWE) has been introduced …

Background/aim Two-dimensional shear-wave elastography (2D-SWE) is a new
elastographic technique that is increasingly being used across several indications. We …
