Liver Fibrosis Assessment With ShearWave Elastography

NCT02181452 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 2333

Last updated 2015-05-12

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Chronic liver disease/fibrosis can be the result of various causes, and the result is that the liver tissue becomes stiff. ShearWave™ elastography, available on the Aixplorer® ultrasound system, is a method that can be used to measure the stiffness of organs in the body, for example the liver.

This study will evaluate how this technology performs as a non-invasive test to stage liver fibrosis in patients with chronic liver disease.
