Objectives The purpose of this study was to assess the diagnostic performance of transient
elastography and sonography for noninvasive evaluation of liver fibrosis in infants with …

Biliary atresia (BA) is a challenging liver disease in infancy. Early diagnosis of BA is
important for timely hepatoportoenterostomy. We evaluated the age‐specific diagnostic …

We investigated the utility of transient elastography (TE) for diagnosing biliary atresia (BA) in
cholestatic infants and predicting the outcome of BA. Forty‐eight cholestatic infants (9‐87 …

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

Objectives The purpose of this study was to investigate the potential utility of shear wave
elastography (SWE) for diagnosis of biliary atresia and for differentiating biliary atresia from …

AIM: To evaluate liver stiffness measurement (LSM) using non-invasive transient
elastography (Fibroscan) in comparison with liver biopsy for assessment of liver fibrosis in …

Objectives The purpose of this study was to investigate the diagnostic performance of
acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI) in assessing liver fibrosis preoperatively in infants …

Objectives: With the introduction of smaller probes (S1, S2), the use of transient
elastography has been expanded to children. Accordingly, we aimed to address points of …

Background Children with biliary atresia rapidly develop liver fibrosis secondary to
inflammatory destruction of the biliary tract. Noninvasive detection of liver fibrosis in …

Transient elastography is an imaging technique utilizing shear wave technology to measure
liver stiffness. Recent studies have shown success in utilizing this technique in children …
