Assessment of liver viscoelasticity by using shear waves induced by ultrasound radiation force

To investigate the value of viscosity measured with ultrasonographic (US) elastography in liver fibrosis staging and to determine whether the use of a viscoelastic model to estimate liver elasticity can improve its accuracy in fibrosis staging. The study, which was performed from February 2010 to Ma...
