Ultrasound-based liver elastography: current results and future perspectives.
Chronic liver disease affects 185 million population worldwide. It encompasses a heterogenous disease spectrum, but all can lead to the development of liver fibrosis. The degree of liver fibrosis is not only a prognosticator, but has also been used to guide the treatment strategy and to evaluate tre...

It encompasses a heterogenous disease spectrum, but all can lead to the development of liver fibrosis. The degree of liver fibrosis is not only a prognosticator, but has also been used to guide the treatment strategy and to evaluate treatment response. Traditionally, staging of liver fibrosis is determined on histological analysis using samples obtained from an invasive liver biopsy. Ultrasound-based liver elastography is a non-invasive method of assessing diffuse liver disease in patients with known chronic liver disease. The use of liver elastography has led to a significant reduction in the number of liver biopsies performed to assess the severity of liver fibrosis and a liver biopsy is now reserved for only select sub-groups of patients. The aim of this review article is to discuss the key findings and current evidence for ultrasound-based elastography in diffuse liver disease as well as the technical challenges and to evaluate the potential research direction. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
