Core Tip	Shear wave elastography (SWE) has become an indispensable diagnostic tool for diagnosing liver disease patients. The shear wave propagation velocity usually reflects the degree of fibrosis, but we must keep in mind other (confounding) factors. The confounding factors due to viscosity include acute hepatitis, congestive liver, and biliary stasis. The other confounding factors due to an increase of tissue density include diffuse infiltration of malignant cells, various storage diseases, and tissue necrosis. It is important to judge SWE results in the context of the entire clinical picture.
