No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI) technology provides real-time measurements of tissue stiffness.

Aim: Using the ARFI ultrasonography, the investigators aims are to complete the correlation and validity studies between visceral ARFI quantification and the referenced Metavir fibrosis scoring and to conduct subsequent innovative studies on liver diseases.
