DIAGNOSTIC POSSIBILITIES OF LIVER ELASTOGRAPHY
Introduction: The review deals with the aspects of noninvasive instrumental diagnosis of diffuse liver diseases on the fibrosis and cirrhosis stage, which is characterized by tendency to progression and the rapid development of complications. Contemporary data of the studies results on the most popular methods of elastography are presented. Aim of our review was to analyze the published data of the modern methods of diagnosis of liver fibrosis and cirrhosis. Materials and Methods: Selection of publications using the key words was performed in PubMed Medline database and scientific search system Google Scholar. Results: There are different opinions of the authors about the pros and cons of Transient elastography (TE) and Acoustic Radiation Force Impulse (ARFI). However, the scope of studies and clinical diagnostic aspects in TE greatly exceeds the number of those for ARFI. Conclusions: Issues of determining of effective non-invasive instrumental methods in patients with chronic liver diseases remain to be actual.
