• Shear Wave Spectroscopy for In Vivo Quantification of Human Soft Tissues Visco-Elasticity (2009, background): “Liver fibrosis is currently characterized in elastography by the assessment of shear elasticity at a fixed frequency [15].”
• Noninvasive assessment of liver fibrosis (2011, background): “Other studies have reached similar conclusions.(61) It is important to remember, however, that the correlation between portal pressure and liver stiffness decreases when hepatic venous pressure gradient values exceed 12 mm Hg.”
• Non-invasive evaluation of liver fibrosis using transient elastography. (2008, background): “Preliminary results from our group [19] suggest that liver stiffness values in cirrhotic patients may increase as liver disease becomes more advanced.”
• Quantifying hepatic shear modulus in vivo using acoustic radiation force. (2008, methodology): “These shear moduli represent those reported for healthy through cirrhotic livers (Foucher et al., 2006; Sandrin et al., 2003).”

(2015, background): “TE has also been evaluated in cholestatic liver diseases (Corpechot et al. 2012, Corpechot et al. 2006b), in a variety of chronic liver diseases (Foucher et al. 2006a; Fraquelli et al. 2007; Ganne-Carrie et al. 2006) as well as in alcoholic liver disease (Nahon et al. 2008; Nguyen-Khac et al. 2008).”
