| Core Tip |
Ultrasound elastography is an emerging, non-invasive imaging modality to detect organ stiffness. It may be a useful tool in biliary atresia (BA) diagnosis and post-Kasai fibrosis surveillance. In a meta-analysis of twenty existing studies (eleven for diagnosis and nine for follow-up), this paper shows that mean liver stiffness is significantly higher in BA patients compared to non-BA patients at time of diagnosis. Post-Kasai, elastography can differentiate between early and advanced fibrosis as well as help to discern the presence or absence of varices. While there are limitations to this analysis, elastography shows great promise for its utility as a non-invasive modality for BA patients. |
