Liver shear wave elastography: the problem of accuracy and reproducibility
... stiffness measurements using shear wave elastography (SWE), as well as on the reliability of judgments about the norm and pathology. The tasks included analyzing the factors affecting the accuracy of measurements of liver stiffness depending on the equipment; testing various SWE techniques for their advantages and disadvantages; identifying the factors depending on the patient (body mass index, gender, respiration, etc.); finding out the reproducibility of liver stiffness measurements in SWE, depending on ...
Normal range of liver stiffness measurement in healthy people
... preferably by the same operator. Caution should be given while using threshold values of the normal liver stiffness on different equipment because it influences the assessment of the liver stiffness measurements and, consequently fibrosis stage.
