Background Among the most recent methods to diagnose liver fibrosis is 2D shear wave
elastography (2D-SWE). However, the evidence in the Latin population is limited, and there …

Background and aims: The meta-analysis aimed to summarize the technical success rate of
supersonic shear imaging (SSI) and to evaluate the diagnostic performance of liver and …

The aim of this research was to compare the use of shear wave elastography (sound touch
elastography [STE] and sound touch quantify [STQ]) and serum liver fibrosis indexes in the …

Objectives Only limited data are available on the risk of liver fibrosis in patients with
rheumatoid arthritis on long-term methotrexate treatment. To assess the risk of liver fibrosis …

Objectives To evaluate the overall accuracy of 2‐dimensional shear wave elastography
(SWE) for the staging of liver fibrosis. Methods Literature databases and conference …

Background Evaluation of liver fibrosis is important to assess prognosis and guide the
treatment for chronic hepatitis B. Objective To analyze and compare transient, point, and two …

Objectives To evaluate the performance of liver stiffness (LS) and spleen stiffness (SS) by
using the sound touch elastography (STE) technique and compare with those of the splenic …

Background: Long-term low-dose methotrexate therapy is associated with liver fibrosis.
Although liver biopsy is the gold standard for detecting fibrosis, it is an invasive procedure …

Purpose This study investigated the effectiveness and feasibility of shear wave elastography
((sound touch elastography) STE and (shear wave elastography) SWE) and visual transient …

Introduction The number of children with acute and chronic liver disease is rising. Moreover,
liver involvement may be limited to subtle changes in organ texture especially in early …
