Introduction The objective of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of shear wave
elastography (SWE), as a non‐invasive means of assessing liver fibrosis stage in paediatric …

Background While liver biopsy remains the gold standard, given the procedure risks and
sampling errors, there is a need for reliable noninvasive biomarkers of hepatic fibrosis …

Objectives: To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of ultrasound shear wave elastography
(SWE) prospectively and to determine cutoff value for nonfibrotic liver tissue in children with …

Objectives To explore the clinical application of shear wave elastography (SWE) in
evaluating the degree of liver fibrosis in children. Methods To explore the value of SWE in …

Background Ultrasound shear wave elastography (SWE) measures liver stiffness
noninvasively, but few studies have defined cutoff values for detecting liver fibrosis in …

Background Traditionally, liver biopsy has been the gold standard for fibrosis staging.
However, it is an invasive, expensive and uncomfortable procedure that is associated with …

Background: Shear-wave elastography (SWE) is a novel noninvasive method that involves
application of local mechanical compression on soft tissue using focused ultrasonography …

Objective To determine the accuracy of 2D shear-wave elastography (2D-SWE) in pediatric
age group patients in differentiating clinically insignificant and significant liver fibrosis using …

Results: There was a significant correlation between liver stiffness and fibrosis stage (ρ=
0.939; P< 0.0001). The ROC curve AUC were 0.871, 0.895 and 0.937 for fibrosis stages F2 …

Background Pediatric patients with liver disease require noninvasive monitoring to evaluate
the risk of fibrosis progression. This study aimed to identify the significant factors affecting …
