Point and two-dimensional shear wave elastography for noninvasive assessment of liver fibrosis

Glushenko Denis Evgenyevich

In the article features of an estimation of a degree of a fibrosis of a liver by means of dot (ELASTPQ) and two-dimensional (ELASTQ) shear wave elastography are considered. The possibilities and limitations of the method are discussed. The indicators of the degree of liver fibrosis in point and two-dimensional elastography were analyzed on the PHILIPS EPIQ 7 ultrasound machine. The main indicators of liver fibrosis degrees were presented and discussed.

Keywords:Point (ELASTPQ) and two-dimensional (ELASTQ) shear wave elastography, estimation of liver fibrosis.
