Zusammenfassung

Purpose: To evaluate the reproducibility of point quantification elastography (PQE) in assessing liver elasticity (LE) in healthy volunteers (hvs) comparing three operators with different expertise. Material and methods: Between September and March 2013, 42 hvs (16 males, 26 females), mean age 35 (range 25 – 66), BMI 23.3 ± 3.2 were enrolled and submitted to PQ elastography (iU22 Philips, Bothell, WA, USA) by three operators in the same day: two US and elastography providers (one expert and one intermediate), one transient elastography (TE) (Fibroscan) operator with no expertise in US. 10 examinations have been…
