We present a practical approach to imaging in suspected biliary atresia, an inflammatory
cholangiopathy of infancy resulting in progressive fibrosis and obliteration of extrahepatic …

Neonatal and infantile cholestasis (NIC) can represent the onset of a surgically correctable
disease and of a genetic or metabolic disorder worthy of medical treatment. Timely …

Biliary atresia is an aggressive liver disease of infancy and can cause death without timely
surgical intervention. Early diagnosis of biliary atresia is critical to the recovery of bile …

Background Neonatal/infantile jaundice is relatively common, and most cases resolve
spontaneously. However, in the setting of unresolved neonatal cholestasis, a prompt and …

To investigate the utility of liver stiffness measurement by shear wave elastography (SWE)
and several commonly used biomarkers in differentiating biliary atresia (BA) from other …

In adults with chronic liver diseases, ultrasound and magnetic resonance shear wave
elastography (SWE) can replace liver biopsy in several clinical scenarios. Several …

BACKGROUND Timely differentiation of biliary atresia (BA) from other infantile cholestatic
diseases can impact patient outcomes. Additionally, non-invasive staging of fibrosis after …

Background Biliary atresia (BA) is a severe inflammatory obliterative cholangiopathy of
infancy that requires early diagnosis and prompt surgical intervention. In this study, we …

The early diagnosis of biliary atresia (BA) in cholestatic infants is critical to the success of the
treatment. Intraoperative cholangiography (IOC), an invasive imaging technique, is the …

Rationale and Objectives To develop and validate a nomogram that incorporates the
gallbladder morphology, hepatic elasticity, and demographic information for the prediction of …
