Background Although histopathological examination by “invasive” liver biopsy remains the
gold standard for evaluating disease progression in chronic liver disease, noninvasive tools …

Purpose To prospectively measure liver stiffness with real-time tissue elastography in
patients with chronic hepatitis C and to compare the results with those of clinical assessment …

Liver fibrosis is the main predictor of the progression of chronic hepatitis C, and its
assessment by liver biopsy (LB) can help determine therapy. However, biopsy is an invasive …

Aim: Liver stiffness (LS) measured by transient elastography (TE) has been reported to
correlate with liver fibrosis, which is usually semiquantitatively assessed. In the present …

Aim Real‐time tissue elastography (RTE) is a non‐invasive method for the measurement of
tissue elasticity using ultrasonography. Liver fibrosis (LF) index is a quantitative method for …

Background & Aims: Liver stiffness measurement (LSM) with transient elastography
(Fibroscan) can accurately diagnose advanced liver fibrosis, but its performance in early …

BACKGROUND: Liver stiffness measurement (LSM) by transient elastography has recently
been validated for the evaluation of liver fibrosis in chronic liver diseases. The present study …

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate liver fibrosis using non-invasive Real-time
Tissue Elastography®(RTE) and transient elastography (FibroScan®) methods. Methods …

The purpose of this study was to assess the influence of success rate and interquartile range
on the accuracy of transient elastography for the diagnostic of fibrosis in hepatitis C virus …

Transient elastography (TE, FibroScan®) is a novel non-invasive method that has been
proposed for the assessment of hepatic fibrosis in patients with chronic liver diseases, by …
