HW Uc 4 - Chronic liver disease

March 4, 13:00 - 14:30 CET

15 min
Introduction
  1. To learn how to perform shear wave elastography (SWE) of the liver.
  2. To learn the US techniques to assess the liver for steatosis: attenuation imaging, ultrasound-derived fat fraction, hepatorenal index (ATI/UDFF/HRI).
  3. To understand the physics behind these technologies.
  4. To understand the clinical relevance of the parameters and indices generated.
