Shear wave elastography correlates with liver fibrosis scores in pediatric patients with liver disease.

Background: While liver biopsy remains the gold standard, given the procedure risks and sampling errors, there is a need for reliable noninvasive biomarkers of hepatic fibrosis.Objective: Determine the accuracy of two-dimensional shear wave elastography (2-D SWE) in predicting the histological sever...
