Supersonic Shear Imaging and Transient Elastography With the XL Probe Accurately Detect Fibrosis in Overweight or Obese Patients With Chronic Liver Disease

SSI and the TE-XL probe each accurately quantify liver fibrosis in overweight or obese patients with chronic liver disease, including those with HCV infection, when compared with data obtained from histologic analysis. SSI data obtained from the right lobe and the TE-XL probe can be used to evaluate fibrosis with similar accuracy.
