A growing body of multiscale biomechanical studies has been proposed to highlight the
mechanical cues in the development of hepatic fibrosis and cancer. At the cellular level …

We recently introduced a series of papers describing how to do certain techniques. This
article is the first part of a review of shear wave elastography (SWE). It reports the principles …

There is an urgent need of non-invasive tests (NITs) for monitoring treatment response and
disease progression in chronic liver disease. Liver stiffness (LS) evaluated by transient …

The prevalence of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and the more severe and
inflammatory type, nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), is increasing rapidly. Especially in …

Background US elastography is a first-line assessment of liver fibrosis severity; however, its
application is limited by its insufficient sensitivity in early-stage fibrosis detection and its …

Objectives This study aimed to develop and validate a nomogram based on extracellular
volume (ECV) derived from computed tomography (CT) for predicting post-hepatectomy liver …

Liver elastography offers the possibility of a quick, non-invasive, and painless evaluation of
the liver with immediate results at bedside. Transient elastography is the most validated …

Purpose The increased incidence of childhood obesity and related non-alcoholic fatty liver
disease (NAFLD) has determined the need to identify a non-invasive technique to diagnose …

Background At present, there is a lack of cheap, effective and convenient detection methods
for hepatitis B-related liver fibrosis, especially in the developing area. Aim To evaluate the …

Objectives To compare the performance of spleen stiffness measurement (SSM) and liver
stiffness measurement (LSM) by sound touch elastography (STE) for the diagnosis of …
