Transient Versus Two‐Dimensional Shear‐Wave Elastography in a Multistep Strategy to Detect Advanced Fibrosis in NAFLD

Abstract

Using the same cutoff values, 2D-SWE-SSI is as accurate as VCTE for advanced liver fibrosis diagnosis in NAFLD. The three-step strategy in selected patients strongly decreased the need for liver biopsy while maintaining excellent accuracy.
