Liver stiffness by magnetic resonance elastography is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease in patients with non‐alcoholic fatty liver disease

Alimentary Pharmacology and Therapeutics, 2021
Magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) is a reliable non‐invasive alternative to liver biopsy for assessing liver fibrosis. There are limited data regarding an association between liver fibrosis by MRE and risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD).

Displacement Tracking Techniques in Ultrasound Elastography: From Cross Correlation to Deep Learning

IEEE Transactions on Ultrasonics, Ferroelectrics and Frequency Control
Ultrasound elastography is a noninvasive medical imaging technique that maps viscoelastic properties to characterize tissues and diseases. Elastography can be divided into two classes in a broad sense: strain elastography (SE), which relies on Hooke’s ...

Elastography in Hepatology [PDF]

Canadian Journal of Gastroenterology, 2007
A common characteristic of all chronic liver diseases is the occurrence and progression of fibrosis toward cirrhosis. Consequently, liver fibrosis assessment plays an important role in hepatology. Besides its importance for prognosis, determining the level of fibrosis reveals the natural history of the disease and the risk factors associated with its ...

Liver fibrosis imaging: A clinical review of ultrasound and magnetic resonance elastography

Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, 2020
Liver fibrosis is a histological hallmark of most chronic liver diseases, which can progress to cirrhosis and liver failure, and predisposes to hepatocellular carcinoma. Accurate diagnosis of liver fibrosis is necessary for prognosis, risk stratification,

Assessment of Skin in Patients With Systemic Sclerosis Using High‐Frequency Ultrasound and Shear Wave Elastography: A Comparative Study With Histology, Molecular, and Clinical Parameters

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Objective Ultrasound (US) has been proposed as a potential tool for assessing skin fibrosis in systemic sclerosis (SSc). However, a large‐scale comparison of US‐based assessment with histologic markers of skin fibrosis has not been reported. We evaluated US‐based skin assessments for their face validity (differentiation between involved SSc and healthy

Evaluation of Liver Fibrosis and Inflammation Using Ultrasound Elastography [PDF]

Advanced Ultrasound in Diagnosis and Therapy, 2020
There are two ultrasound elastography methods currently available for evaluating liver fibrosis: Strain Imaging and Shear Wave Elastography. Strain imaging can estimate the degree of liver fibrosis without the influence of inflammation whilst the Shear ...
