Liver fibrosis: noninvasive assessment using supersonic shear imaging and FIB4 index in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease

ConclusionsSWE and FIB4 index are useful noninvasive tools for estimating the severity of fibrosis in NAFLD patients. However, the presence of severe steatosis may affect the liver stiffness measurement, resulting in underestimations of liver fibrosis.
