The utility of two-dimensional real-time shear wave elastography for assessing liver fibrosis in patients with chronic hepatitis C virus infection

Conclusion 2D-SWE has an excellent diagnostic accuracy equivalent to that of MRE for assessing significant (≥F2) and severe (≥F3) fibrosis. MRE demonstrated a higher AUROC than 2D-SWE, but this last one has advantages such as lower cost, fewer contraindications and greater ease of performance than MRE.
