Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Liver biopsy for the assessment of fibrosis has multiple limitations. Liver ShearWaveTM Elastography may provide a non-invasive, fast, and reproducible alternative for the quantitative assessment of liver fibrosis.
