Best Practices - A Noninvasive Technique for Liver Diagnosis
December 2014. By Trevor Bromley. "Ultrasound with ShearWave Elastography technology pioneered by SuperSonic Imagine can assess liver disease non invasively using a quantifiable method that evaluates tissue elasticity. It does this through an ultrasound wave as well as a ShearWave, which can measure and display tissue stiffness in real time." .... "In some cases, such as assessing therapeutic progress or monitoring fibrosis, several biopsies are performed. A noninvasive method for these particular cases would be a welcome tool for clinicians" |

A little revolution in sonography
November 2014 Until recently liver biopsies were performed to stage hepatic fibrosis in order to identify the suitable therapy. ‘Since any intervention in the human body is associated with risks – haemorrhage and infection for example – we have long been looking for an alternative method to determine liver tissue elasticity. Today shear wave elastography is exactly such a method,’ says Professor Christoph F Dietrich MD, Medical Director of Clinic II at Caritas Hospital in Bad Mergentheim, Germany. |
