Purpose: The aim of the study was to assess the influence of food intake on liver stiffness values obtained by two 2D-SWE techniques 2D-SWE and 2D-SWE.GE. Material and methods: 2 groups of healthy volunteers in whom liver stiffness measurements were performed first in fasting condition, followed by measurements made at 30 minutes, 1h, 2h after food intake, were included in this study. All subjects received the same standard solid meal. Group 1 included 50 subjects (39 female, 11 male) in whom the liver stiffness was assess by 2D Shear Waves Elastography-[Aixplorer, Supersonic Imagining (SSI)], valid measurements…
