Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is estimated to afflict approximately 1 billion
individuals worldwide. In a subset of NAFLD patients, who have the progressive form of …

Liver MR elastography is an imaging technique used to measure liver stiffness in the
evaluation for possible fibrosis or cirrhosis. Liver stiffness measurement (LSM) is useful for …

Elastography-based liver stiffness measurement (LSM) is a non-invasive tool for estimating
liver fibrosis but also provides an estimate for the severity of portal hypertension in patients …

Fibrosis is a common outcome of most chronic inflammatory diseases, characterized by the
accumulation of excessive extracellular matrix components. Individuals with progressive …

Ultrasound elastography including transient elastography (TE), point shear wave
elastography,(pSWE) and two (three)-dimensional shear wave elastography (2D-SWE) have …

Liver fibrosis consists in the accumulation of extracellular matrix components mainly derived
from activated hepatic stellate cells. This is commonly the result of chronic liver injury repair …

Liver biopsy is considered the gold standard method for diagnosing and staging liver
disease, particularly in the post‐liver transplant setting. Given the invasive nature of biopsy …

Background & Aims Both liver stiffness (LS) and spleen stiffness (SS) are widely used to non-
invasively assess liver fibrosis and portal hypertension, respectively. We aimed to identify …

Background Two‐dimensional shear wave elastography (2D‐SWE) can noninvasively
evaluate hepatic elastic modulus as shear wave velocity (SWV). Additionally, it may predict …

Abstract Background & Aims: Direct-acting antiviral agents (DAAs) and the risk of
hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is controversially reported in the literature. The primary …
