Comparison of Visual Transient Elastography and Shear Wave Elastography in Evaluating Liver Fibrosis in Patients with Chronic Liver Disease

This study investigated the effectiveness and feasibility of shear wave elastography ((sound touch elastography) STE and (shear wave elastography) SWE) and visual transient elastography (ViTE) in the noninvasive quantitative diagnosis of liver fibrosis in chronic liver disease (CLD).A total of 106 patients with CLD underwent STE, SWE and ViTE elastography evaluation. The Young's modulus of the three elastography was valuated and the diagnostic...
