detection of liver fibrosis across various liver disease etiologies. Accuracy increased from F2 …

Liver diseases of various etiologies are becoming increasingly common in the pediatric
population. So far, the gold diagnostic standard in these disorders is liver biopsy. This …

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 Two-dimensional shear wave elastography (2D-SWE) has been proposed for
detecting liver fibrosis in biliary atresia. Objectives To assess the performance of 2D-SWE for …

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 …
