Ultrasound point shear wave elastography assessment of liver and spleen stiffness: effect of training on repeatability of measurements.

Objectives: To evaluate reproducibility of measurements of spleen stiffness (SS) and liver stiffness (LS) at several sites by using point shear wave elastography (pSWE) and to investigate any training effect.Methods: Healthy volunteers were consecutively enrolled. Measurements of SS and LS were perf...
