Current evidence for lung ultrasound elastography in the field of pneumology: a systematic review

ERJ Open Research
Background and objectives Elastography is a technology that has strongly impacted several medical specialties; however, it is not yet applied as part of standard clinical practice in the field of pulmonology. The objective of this systematic review is to

Factors Associated With Liver Fibrosis in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes and the Predictive Value of CHI3L1

Portal Hypertension &Cirrhosis, EarlyView.
In a retrospective cohort of 236 patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM), metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) was common and significant fibrosis (liver stiffness measurement [LSM] ≥8 kPa) was frequently observed. Serum chitinase‐3‐like protein 1 (CHI3L1) correlated with LSM (r = 0.48) and remained an independent predictor of ...

Primary Liver Cancer Trends Worldwide and in China: Analysis of GLOBOCAN 2022 Data and Disease Management Implications

Portal Hypertension &Cirrhosis, EarlyView.
Primary liver cancer remains a major global health burden, with China accounting for over 40% of cases. The predominant etiology is shifting from viral hepatitis to metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), while aflatoxin exposure and unhealthy lifestyles remain important contributors. Comprehensive control strategies—including

Liver Fibrosis Tests and Outcomes of Bariatric Surgery in Morbidly Obese Patients With MASLD

Portal Hypertension &Cirrhosis, EarlyView.
This study validates commonly used non‐invasive tests for liver fibrosis in morbidly obese patients with biopsy‐proven MASLD and evaluates outcomes after bariatric surgery. These non‐invasive tests show low diagnostic accuracy for baseline liver fibrosis, while bariatric surgery significantly improves liver stiffness, metabolic profiles, and ...

Spatio-Temporal Deep Learning Models for Tip Force Estimation During Needle Insertion

, 2019
Purpose. Precise placement of needles is a challenge in a number of clinical applications such as brachytherapy or biopsy. Forces acting at the needle cause tissue deformation and needle deflection which in turn may lead to misplacement or injury. Hence,

Hepatic fibrosis: US elastography vs. MR elastography

Ultrasound in Medicine & Biology, 2019
Hepatic fibrosis is final results of a wide variety of types of liver injury and is a consequence of all chronic liver diseases and progresses more or less rapidly towards cirrhosis, and finally cancer. In terms of the tools used to quantitate fibrosis today, there are three kinds of tools; biochemical markers, conventional imaging, and functional ...

Fast Quantitative Evaluation of the Amelioration Effect in MASLD During Semaglutide Treatment Using Ultrasound‐Derived Fat Fraction and Fat‐to‐Muscle Ratio

Portal Hypertension &Cirrhosis, EarlyView.
Metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) is a chronic liver disease. Research into a feasible, rapid, and effective assessment method is crucial for evaluating the therapeutic effects of semaglutide in MASLD. This prospective study utilized ultrasound‐derived fat fraction measurement and fat‐to‐muscle ratio to evaluate hepatic ...

From HBV to MASLD Cirrhosis: Mechanistic Insights and Therapeutic Strategies

Portal Hypertension &Cirrhosis, EarlyView.
This review examines the epidemiological shift from hepatitis B virus (HBV) to metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) as the leading cause of cirrhosis globally. It highlights the distinct pathogenic mechanisms between HBV and MASLD cirrhosis and discusses evolving diagnostic tools and therapeutic strategies tailored to the ...

Quality Assurance of Point and 2D Shear Wave Elastography through the Establishment of Baseline Data Using Phantoms

Sensors
Ultrasound elastography has been available on most modern systems; however, the implementation of quality processes tends to be ad hoc. It is essential for a medical physicist to benchmark elastography measurements on each system and track them over time,
