Zusammenfassung
Aim: The aim of this study was to compare the fesability of two 2D-Shear Waves Elastography (2D-SWE) methods for the assessment of Liver Stiffness (LS) and also to compare the methods with a validated one – Transient Elastography (TE). Material and method: Our study included 130 consecutive patients with chronic hepatopathies (HCV-90%, HBV-6%, other-4%), in which LS was evaluated in the same session by means of two 2D-SWE tehniques: 2D-SWE.GE (LOGIQ E9, GE Healthcare) and 2D-SWE.SSI (Aixplorer® ultrasound system, SuperSonic Imagine) and also by an elastographic reference method: Transient Elastography (TE) – Fib…
