BACKGROUND: Liver stiffness measurement (LSM) using transient elastography is widely
used in the management of patients with chronic liver disease. OBJECTIVES: To examine …

Background/Aims Fibroscan allows liver stiffness examination (LSE) that is well correlated
with fibrosis stages. Our main objective was to evaluate LSE learning curve. Methods LSE …

Liver stiffness measurement (LSM) based on transient elastography (TE, FibroScan) is
gaining in popularity for noninvasive assessment of liver fibrosis. However, LSM has …

Failure of liver stiffness measurement (LSM) by transient elastography (TE, FibroScan) and
unreliable results occur in≈ 5% and 15% of patients, respectively, mainly due to obesity. In …

AIM: To retrospectively assess the feasibility of transient elastography (TE) and the factors
associated with failed and unreliable liver stiffness measurements (LSMs), in patients with …

Transient elastography (TE) based on liver stiffness measurement (LSM) is one of the most
validated noninvasive methods for liver fibrosis staging in patients with chronic liver …

Abstract Background and Aim: Liver stiffness measurement (LSM) with transient
elastography is a non‐invasive and reliable test for liver fibrosis. However a small proportion …

BACKGROUND & AIMS: Fibroscan is a noninvasive device that assesses liver fibrosis by
liver stiffness evaluation (LSE) with ultrasonographic elastometry. We evaluated LSE …

Abstract Background and Aims: Establishing the presence of fibrosis and cirrhosis is an
essential step in the management of patients with chronic liver diseases (CLD). Liver …

Background Liver stiffness measurement (LSM) has been used to measure fibrosis in
patients with various types of chronic liver diseases. However, its usefulness as a screening …
