Background MR elastography can determine organ‐related stiffness, which reflects the
degree of fibrosis. Liver stiffness increases in cirrhosis, and stiffness increases further post …

The pathogenesis and pathophysiology of portal hypertension is a complex process that
incorporates multiple contributing mechanisms that are internal and external to the liver …

Background MR elastography (MRE) at 60 Hz is widely used for staging liver fibrosis. MRE
with lower frequencies may provide inflammation biomarkers. Purpose To establish a …

Objectives In this study, we used the recently developed ultrasound elastography
techniques sound touch elastography (STE) and sound touch quantification (STQ) to …

Background Measurement of hepatic venous pressure gradients is the gold standard for
assessing portal hypertension (PH) but is invasive with potential complications. We aimed to …

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) has emerged as the most common form of chronic
