Ultrasound shear wave elastography (US SWE) can be used to noninvasively measure liver stiffness. US SWE is a potentially useful technique for diagnosing and monitoring liver fibrosis, obviating the need for liver biopsy in some patients. When compared to MR elastography (MRE), US SWE is lower cost, portable, and does not need sedation/anesthesia. US SWE measurements can vary by method (point vs. 2D) and vendor. Few studies have defined cut-off values for detecting fibrosis in pediatric patients using US 2D SWE. This study aims to evaluate the diagnostic performance and define cut-off values of US 2D SWE for the detection of liver fibrosis in pediatric patients, using Toshiba (Canon) Aplio 500 and Aplio i800 systems.
