Liver elastography offers the possibility of a quick, non-invasive, and painless evaluation of
the liver with immediate results at bedside. Transient elastography is the most validated …

Measurement of liver stiffness (LS) has revolutionized the noninvasive screening for liver
fibrosis. However, the rapid introduction of several techniques, a lack of standardization …

Elastography can be thought as an extension of the ancient technique of palpation. After
giving a short introduction to the history of elastography, the different technologies that are …

When asked by Springer Nature to publish a first-time book on liver stiffness and its clinical
interpretation, I have been enthusiastic from the very beginning. Bedside measurement of …

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

Shear wave elastography (SWE) has been developed to non-invasively estimate liver
stiffness. Different techniques are available and they are described in detail in the EFSUMB …

Results We obtained valid measurements of LS in 94.6% of the 986 cases. Male gender,
younger age and low BMI were positive predictive factors for obtaining valid measurements …

AIM: To compare results of liver stiffness measurements by transient elastography (TE)
obtained in our patients population with that used in a recently published meta-analysis …

Liver stiffness evaluation (LSE) is usually considered as reliable when it fulfills all the
following criteria:≥ 10 valid measurements,≥ 60% success rate, and interquartile …

Background & Aims Transient elastometry is a noninvasive procedure used to measure
fibrosis when patients are diagnosed with liver disease; it might be used to monitor changes …
