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 …

Neonatal cholestasis is a group of rare disorders of impaired bile flow characterized by
conjugated hyperbilirubinaemia in the newborn and young infant. Neonatal cholestasis is …

Cholestatic jaundice is a common presenting feature of hepatobiliary and/or metabolic
dysfunction in the newborn and young infant. Timely detection of cholestasis, followed by …

The many factors influencing the shear wave velocity (SWV) measured with Acoustic
Radiation Force Impulse (ARFI) are examined in order to define the most correct …

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

OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this meta-analysis was to summarize the evidence on the
accuracy of various ultrasound findings for excluding a diagnosis of biliary atresia …

Biliary atresia is challenging to diagnose because many of the clinical and imaging features
of this condition overlap with those of other causes of cholestasis in newborns. When …

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 …

Objectives To evaluate MRI findings and to generate a decision tree model for diagnosis of
biliary atresia (BA) in infants with jaundice. Methods We retrospectively reviewed features of …

Featured Application In this review we present and discuss the published literature on the
use of ultrasound-based liver elastography in children. The published data show that all the …
