Chronic liver diseases often result in the development of liver fibrosis and ultimately,
cirrhosis. Treatment strategies and prognosis differ greatly depending on the severity of liver …

Aim: The purpose of the study was to assess the effect of Acoustic Radiation Force Impulse
(ARFI) elastography in the diagnosis of liver fibrosis in chronic hepatitis B and C patients …

Abstract The World Federation for Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology (WFUMB) has
produced these guidelines for the use of elastography techniques in liver disease. For each …

Background Studies on temporal changes in noninvasive fibrosis indices and liver stiffness
measurement (LSM) in patients with chronic hepatitis C (CHC) treated with direct-acting …

Assessment of liver fibrosis in chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection is considered a
relevant part of patient care and key for decision making. Although liver biopsy has been …

Purpose Elastography is a non-invasive method to quantify fibrosis based on tissue
mechanical properties. We performed a meta-analysis to assess the diagnostic accuracy of …

Acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI) imaging is a new and promising ultrasound-based
diagnostic technique that, evaluating the wave propagation speed, allows the assessment of …

Progressive liver fibrosis may result in cirrhosis, portal hypertension and increased risk of
hepatocellular carcinoma. We performed a meta-analysis to compare liver fibrosis staging in …

Background Immunosuppressive treatment of autoimmune hepatitis can prevent or reverse
hepatic fibrosis, but these anti‐fibrotic effects are inconsistent secondary gains. Aim To …

Abstract Introduction Acoustic Radiation Force Impulse (ARFI) elastography is a non-
invasive technique for liver fibrosis assessment. Aim To assess the feasibility of ARFI …
