Transient elastography is an ultrasound-based technology that involves acquisition of pulse-echo ultrasound signals to measure liver stiffness. It involves using the tip of an ultrasound ...

Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) engineers have developed an innovative ultrasound sticker to monitor patients' internal organs. The new sticker is roughly the size of a postage stamp ...

Major barriers in screening for fatty liver disease in patients with HIV included uncertainties about testing, diagnostic ...

In a new study, Hagström and his research colleagues investigated whether it would be possible to simultaneously screen for liver fibrosis using elastography. This ultrasound-based technique is ...

The primary outcome was a reduction in liver fat content, measured by abdominal ultrasound, and secondary outcomes were improvement of fibrosis, measured by shear-wave elastography, metabolic and ...
