Abstract:Objectives
Point shear-wave elastography (pSWE) alias acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI) imaging is a well-established ultrasound-based technique for the non-invasive assessment of liver tissue stiffness. As cut-off values for liver cirrhosis cannot be transferred from one ultrasound system to another, this study aimed at determining cut-off values for the newly developed Siemens ACUSON Sequoia ultrasound system.
