Is ARFI elastography useful for quantifying fibrosis in chronic diffuse disease of the liver and kidney?
ARFI elastography is a useful imaging modality for quantifying fibrosis in chronic diffuse diseases of the liver and kidney.
• Stiffness significantly varies among normal and abnormal biological tissues. • In clinical applications physical, geometrical, anatomical and physiological factors influence the SWV. • Elastographic techniques can quantify fibrosis, which is directly related to stiffness. • ARFI can be useful in chronic diffuse disease of liver and kidney.
