WFUMB guidelines and recommendations for clinical use of ultrasound elastography: Part 1: basic principles and terminology. (2015, methodology): “available ultrasonic shear wave measurement system, FibroScan (Echosens, Paris, France), was based upon the concept of transient elastography (Sandrin et al., 2003).”
Non-invasive evaluation of liver fibrosis using transient elastography. (2008, methodology): “TE, using FibroScan (Echosens, Paris, France), is a novel non-invasive method that has been proposed for assessment of liver fibrosis by measuring liver stiffness [13].”
Controlled attenuation parameter (CAP): a novel VCTE™ guided ultrasonic attenuation measurement for the evaluation of hepatic steatosis: preliminary study and validation in a cohort of patients with chronic liver disease from various causes. (2010, methodology): “In our study, a complementary physical parameter—ultrasonic attenuation–designated CAP—is assessed simultaneously with LSM using the radiofrequency signals acquired by the Fibroscan.”
EASL-ALEH Clinical Practice Guidelines: Non-invasive tests for evaluation of liver disease severity and prognosis. (2015, methodology): “Apart from obese patients, TE results can also be difficult to obtain from patients with narrow intercostal space and are nearly impossible to obtain from patients with ascites [49].”
Quantifying hepatic shear modulus in vivo using acoustic radiation force. (2008, methodology): “The FibroScan® system (EchoSens, Paris, France) uses an external vibrator to generate shear waves in tissue and has successfully quantified differences in liver stiffness as correlated with fibrosis stage (Sandrin et al., 2003).”
Noninvasive assessment of liver fibrosis (2011, methodology): “Transient elastography (TE) is probably the most widely used noninvasive method in Europe for assessing the degree of liver fibrosis (FibroScan).(19) The concept is simple: a vibration of mild amplitude and low frequency is transmitted to the tissue, which induces an elastic shear wave that propagat”
Acoustic Radiation Force Elasticity Imaging in Diagnostic Ultrasound (2013, neutral): “Unlike methods using cutaneous mechanical excitations such as Transient Elastography (TE) introduced by Fibroscan®, where the presence of ascites or fluid boundaries proximal to the targeted organ make it difficult/ impossible to induce shear waves, ARF methods benefit from being able to generate an”
