Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Liver biopsy is the gold standard but limited due to its invasiveness, sampling error, and intra- and interobserver variability. Non-invasive tests are preferred in the management of chronic liver diseases. Several serum tests for liver function and markers of liver fibrosis are available and have moderate sensitivity and specificity; however, they are confounded by a wide range of extra-hepatic diseases.
Currently, several methods are available for assessing hepatic fibrosis and progression of fibrogenesis including scintigraphy, magnetic resonance diffusion weighted imaging, and magnetic resonance spectroscopy could differentiate between cirrhosis or severe fibrosis and normal liver. However, an accurate staging of fibrosis or diagnosis of mild fibrosis was often not achievable. Shear-wave elastography (SWE) is a real-time freehand ultrasonography-based elastography method for liver stiffness measurement.

Shearwave elastography
Shear wave elastography is an ultrasound applied technique used to measure tissue stiffness as a result of a disease. So, it can be used to evaluate liver stiffness as a result of liver cirrhosis
