Cirrhosis (elastography)

Discussion:

Shear wave elastography is an imaging technique that quantifies tissue stiffness by measuring the speed of shear waves in tissue, if the velocity at the liver is more than 1.99 m/s this indicates cirrhosis.

Other features of liver cirrhosis are demonstrated in this patient such as splenomegaly, ascites, portal vein enlargement and coarse appearance of the liver.
