Core Tip |
The results of this study show that point shear-wave elastography (PSWE) is a highly reproducible method for assessing liver stiffness that is characterized by high levels of intraobserver and interobserver agreement, both overall and for single measurements. The PSWE performance compares with that of transient elastography (TE), the most widely accepted method for the noninvasive assessment of liver fibrosis. Compared with TE, routine ultrasound with elastography is advantageous because it allows the evaluation of other parameters that are complementary to stiffness, is highly accurate for the diagnosis of cirrhosis and can be used to screen for focal liver lesions. |
