Clinical Performance of Transient Elastography With Comparison to Quantitative Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Ultrasound, and Biopsy in Children and Adolescents With Known or Suspected Fatty Liver Disease.

Performance of vibration-controlled transient elastography (VCTE) is inadequately validated in pediatric nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). We aimed to assess the technical performance of VCTE in pediatric NAFLD and define the agreement between VCTE and reference standards of imaging and/or biopsy. This prospective study recruited participants with known or suspected NAFLD who underwent a research VCTE examination (FibroScan Mini 430).
