Usefulness of two-dimensional shear wave elastography in the assessment of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in children and adolescents

Abstract Two-dimensional shear wave elastography (2D-SWE) evaluates liver stiffness using a non-invasive method, but studies in the paediatric population are rare. This study evaluated the role of 2D-SWE in the diagnosis and severity of paediatric non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). In total,...
