Comparison of Visual Transient Elastography, Vibration Controlled Transient Elastography, Shear Wave Elastography and Sound Touch Elastography in Chronic liver Disease assessment using liver biopsy as 'Gold Standard'.

Purpose: Chronic liver disease (CLD) is considered one of the main causes of death. Ultrasound Elastography (USE) is a CLD assessment imaging method. This study aims to evaluate a recently introduced commercial alternative of USE, Visual Transient Elastography (ViTE), and to compare it with three established USE methods, Vibration Controlled Transient Elastography (VCTE), Shear Wave Elastography (SWE) and Sound Touch Elastography (STE), using Liver Biopsy (LB) as 'Gold Standard'.

Speed of sound index for liver steatosis estimation: a reliability study in normal subjects.

PURPOSE Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most widespread type of chronic liver disease in the Western countries. Ultrasound (US) is widely used for NAFLD staging. The Resona 7 US system (Mindray Bio-Medical Electronics Co.

Liver Ultrasound Attenuation: An Ultrasound Attenuation Index for Liver Steatosis Assessment.

Objectives: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most widespread chronic liver disease type in the Western countries. Ultrasound (US) is used for NAFLD and hepatic steatosis (HS) grading. The most popular US method for NAFLD assessment is the hepatorenal index (HRI), but because of its limitations, other noninvasive methods have been developed.

Comparison of Sound Touch Elastography, Shear Wave Elastography and Vibration-Controlled Transient Elastography in Chronic Liver Disease Assessment using Liver Biopsy as the "Reference Standard".

Chronic liver disease (CLD) is currently a major cause of death. Ultrasound elastography (USE) is an imaging method that has been developed for CLD assessment. Our aim in the study described here was to evaluate and compare a new commercial variant of USE, sound touch elastography (STE), with already established USE methods, shear wave elastography (SWE) and vibration-controlled transient elastography (VCTE), using liver biopsy as the "reference standard.

Imaging patients with renal colic-consider ultrasound first.

Unlabelled: Renal colic is a common disease in Europe and a common cause of visit to the Emergency Department. Clinical diagnosis is usually confirmed by imaging modalities. Unenhanced computed tomography (CT) is considered the best diagnostic test due to its excellent accuracy detecting ureteral stones.
