Comparison of four different Shear Wave Elastography platforms according to abdominal wall thickness in liver fibrosis evaluation: a phantom study.

CONCLUSIONS: The applicability, repeatability, and stiffness value were different depending on SWE platforms. Further, the applicability and repeatability would be more affected by abdominal wall thickness. Thus, careful consideration should be given to an appropriate SWE platform, when evaluating liver fibrosis in patients with thick abdominal wall. PMID: 30779827 [PubMed - in process]
