Role of Point Shear Wave Elastography in the Determination of the Severity of Fibrosis in Pediatric Liver Diseases With Pathologic Correlations

Abstract

The VTQ and VTIQ values reveal high-grade histopathologic fibrosis and have high success rates when distinguishing high- from low-grade fibrosis. However, they have limited success rates when differentiating low-grade fibrosis from normal liver tissue.
