Non-invasive evaluation of liver fibrosis has evolved over the last couple of decades.
Currently, elastography techniques are the most widely used non-invasive methods for …

Children with obesity are at risk for numerous health problems, including nonalcoholic fatty
liver disease (NAFLD). This review focuses on progress made in the epidemiology of …

Background Stiffness thresholds for liver MR elastography in children vary between studies
and may differ from thresholds in adults. Normative liver stiffness data are needed to …

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), a spectrum of liver diseases characterized by
excessive fat accumulation, is the leading cause of chronic liver disease. The global …

The broad spectrum of hepatobiliary involvement in cystic fibrosis (CF) has been commonly
referred to as cystic fibrosis liver disease (CFLD). However, differences in the definitions of …

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

Background Magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) has been used to stage liver fibrosis
in adults. We aimed to assess the agreement between the Ishak scoring system and …

Background Although MR elastography allows for quantitative evaluation of liver stiffness to
assess chronic liver diseases, it has associated drawbacks related to additional scanning …
