Impact of anthropometric features on the applicability and accuracy of FibroScan^® (M and XL) in overweight/obese patients

Abstract

The applicability and accuracy of the FibroScan^® M probe to identify fibrosis and steatosis was excellent in overweight and obesity grade I (BMI ≤ 35 kg/m² ) with a WC ≤ 117 cm. The XL probe increased the applicability of transient elastography in obesity grade II-III (BMI > 35 kg/m² ).
