Impact of Cardiometabolic Risk Factors and Steatotic Liver Disease on Liver‐Related Outcomes in Patients With Chronic Hepatitis C After Curative Antiviral Therapy

open access: yesThe Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Patients with chronic hepatitis C (CHC) frequently present with steatotic liver disease (SLD) and cardiometabolic risk factors (CMRFs). This study aimed to evaluate the impact of SLD and CMRFs on liver‐related outcomes (LROs) in CHC patients after HCV eradication.

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

open access: yesSensors
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,

Microbubble‐Based Ultrasound Contrast Agents in Contrast‐Enhanced Ultrasonography for Managing Portal Hypertension in Cirrhosis

open access: yesPortal Hypertension &Cirrhosis, EarlyView.
As the hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG) remains the current gold standard for diagnosing portal hypertension in cirrhosis, its clinical application is limited by invasiveness, high cost, and restricted availability. Given the urgent need for noninvasive techniques to dynamically monitor portal vein pressure (PVP), contrast‐enhanced ...
