Ultrasound (US) has been used to evaluate liver disease for many decades. Despite certain inherent limitations in evaluating chronic liver disease on routine gray-scale US, it is still widely used for the initial evaluation in patients suspected of liver disease as well as for hepatocellular ...
Ultrasound evaluation of the fibrosis stage in chronic liver disease by the simultaneous use of low and high frequency probes A liver biopsy is currently considered the definitive diagnostic modality for establishing the severity of hepatic fibrosis. We analysed the diagnostic sen... T Nishiura,H ...
Hepatus is a professional non-invasive diagnostic system for liver diseases, providing quantitative result to indicate the stage of liver fibrosis. It is accurate, efficient, reliable, and convenient for disease follow-up, opening a new era for non-invas

AIM: To assess if software assisted-contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) provides reproducible perfusion parameters of hepatic parenchyma in patients affected by chronic liver disease. METHODS: Forty patients with chronic viral liver disease, with (n = 20) or without (n = 20) cirrhosis, and 10...
Viral-related and/or alcoholic chronic liver disease is a high-risk factor for developing HCC that limits the prognosis. There is no question about the importance of periodic surveillance for HCC in these high-risk patients[27–29]. Some serum markers are known for HCC, and α-fetoprotein (...
A total of 7 patients with end-stage liver disease (cirrhosis) had attenuation values similar to those in the healthy group, and their mean liver backscatter was somewhat greater than the mean backscatter for healthy livers. Quantitating both backscatter and attenuation should be considered for ...
liver fibrosis hyaluranChronic liver disease (CLD) in the clinical context is a disease process affecting the liver, which involves a process of progressive destruction and regeneration of the liver parenchyma, leading to fibrosis and cirrhosis. Both FibroScan, which is an ultrasound study also ...
Liver fibrosis in chronic viral hepatitis: an ultrasonographic study. AIM: To select valuable ultrasonographic predictors for the evaluation of hepatic inflammation and fibrosis degree in chronic hepatitis, and to study the v... RQ Zheng,QH Wang,MD Lu,... - 《World Journal of Gastroenterology》 ...
