Normal range of liver stiffness measurement in healthy people
... comparison of various works in elastography of the international and Russian research. A variety of normal values of liver stiffness during shear wave elastography obtained by different authors when measuring on various devices are presented. The normal range of liver stiffness measurements in healthy people varies widely: the normal liver elasticity values may vary in range of 1.5—7.5 kPa on measuring by transient elastography (FibroScan, Echosens); 2.4—6.2 kPa on measuring by point shear wave elastography (iU ...

Ultrasound elastometry of the spleen (review)
... the results of stiffness measurement in healthy volunteers (the patient's position, food intake, respiratory phase, number of measurements) were identified, which resulted in mean values of spleen stiffness. It was found that spleen stiffness does not depend on gender, height, body weight, and body mass index. The study reveals a range of diseases in which the spleen stiffness is significantly higher than normal values, and it includes liver cirrhosis, portal hypertension, esophageal varicose veins Grade III and portal vein obstruction. A discussion to develop ...
