Abstract:
Transient elastography is a noninvasive, rapid ultrasonic elastography, and assess liver fibrosis by detetcting liver stiffness. Current consensus focuses on understanding influence factors on operation and diagnosis, recommendations for clinical application on detetcting liver fibrosis of chronic liver disease and monitoring development of related complication hepatocelullar carcinoma, high risk esophageal varices, and also summarizes the potential aplication on liver disease screening and liver fibrosis regression assessment.
