Core Tip	In the literature, normal stiffness values for liver, spleen, and pancreas in healthy individuals are not well established. This is partly due to differences in equipment and cut-off values used, and partly due to inter-operator variability. In this study, we evaluated these parameters in 50 healthy individuals using three different methods (two of which were integrated into the same scan) to assess their correlation with clinical and technical features.
