Background Ultrasound shear wave elastography (SWE) measures liver stiffness
noninvasively, but few studies have defined cutoff values for detecting liver fibrosis in …

Sonoelastography is a novel technique that uses ultrasound waves to assess the elasticity of
tissues noninvasively. It provides an ultrasound-based method to detect and display the …

Background Portal hypertension, a major complication of hepatic fibrosis, can affect the
stiffness of the spleen. Objective To suggest normal values of spleen stiffness determined by …

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the hepatic manifestation of the obesity
epidemic. Recent studies have clearly shown that the stage of fibrosis in adults with NAFLD …

Purpose The purpose of the study was to determine the accuracy of acoustic radiation force
impulse (ARFI) ultrasound elastography in assessing the degree of liver disease in children …

Objective The objective was to identify a shear wave speed (SWS) cutoff in pediatric liver
disease to detect fibrosis and inflammation. Methods We performed an institutional-review …

Aim This study aimed to investigate parenchymal changes in the liver in paediatric patients
with cystic fibrosis (CF) and to analyse diagnostic performance of two‐dimensional shear …

Objectives: The aim of the present study was to assess whether objectively measured
physical activity at mean ages 12 and 14 years are prospectively associated with ultrasound …

Objectives: To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of ultrasound shear wave elastography
(SWE) prospectively and to determine cutoff value for nonfibrotic liver tissue in children with …

Objectives: We aimed to determine the association of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease
(NAFLD) with central and peripheral blood pressure (BP), in a general adolescent …
