Abstract The World Federation for Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology has produced these
guidelines for the use of elastography techniques in liver diseases. For each available …

Physicians have used palpation as a diagnostic examination to understand the elastic
properties of pathology for a long time since they realized that tissue stiffness is closely …

Management of pediatric chronic liver disease is limited by lack of validated noninvasive
biomarkers of histologic severity. We demonstrate that magnetic resonance elastography is …

Hepatic dysfunction is a recognized complication after Fontan palliation of congenital heart
disease. We sought to quantitatively measure hepatic stiffness and vascular Doppler indices …

Objectives: Noninvasive tests for the evaluation of liver fibrosis are particularly helpful in
children to avoid general anesthesia and potential complications of invasive tests. We aimed …

Purpose To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of shear-wave elastography (SWE) in
identifying different degrees of fibrosis in a cohort of consecutive children and adolescents …

The goals of the work described here were to evaluate the clinical utility of acoustic radiation
force impulse (ARFI) elastography in differentiating non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) …

Background: Shear-wave elastography (SWE) is a novel noninvasive method that involves
application of local mechanical compression on soft tissue using focused ultrasonography …

Acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI) imaging is a new and promising ultrasound-based
diagnostic technique that, evaluating the wave propagation speed, allows the assessment of …

Background There is a paucity of data available regarding the repeatability and
reproducibility of superficial shear wave speed (SWS) measurements at imaging depths …
