Abstract: PURPOSE Clinically significant portal hypertension (CSPH) is responsible for most of the complications in patients with cirrhosis. Liver stiffness (LS) measurement by vibration-controlled transient elastography (VCTE) is currently used to evaluate CSPH. Bi-dimensional shear wave… read more here.

Abstract: Background: Performance of vibration-controlled transient elastography (VCTE) is inadequately validated in pediatric nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). We aimed to assess the technical performance of VCTE in pediatric NAFLD and define the agreement between VCTE… read more here.
