Beschreibung
This is the first comprehensive book on the new elastographic techniques discussing the early assessment of liver fibrosis. The book covers all aspects of measuring liver stiffness starting from the methodology, the molecular basis of liver stiffness elevation up to current clinical algorithms and interpretation. Future directions and novel implications that go beyond diagnosis but are relevant for understanding of liver cirrhosis per se are also discussed in detail.
Liver Elastography, is an essential companion for hepatologists and gastroenterologists that provides an overview of its basic principles and gives a detailed account of how to use elastrography in clinical practice.

“This book is not aimed at radiology departments but rather at our colleagues in hepatotology and gastroenterology with the aim to offer them a deeper understanding of the role that elastography, in all its iterations, has in the assessment and management of liver disease. The book is very well written and edited … .” (Colin Griffin, RAD Magazine, May, 2021)
