Abstract (AI)
The comparison between methods, evaluation of portal hypertension and many other questions are still open issues in liver elastography. New elastographic applications are under evaluation and close to being used in clinical practice. Strain imaging has been incorporated into many disciplines and EFSUMB guidelines are under preparation. More research is necessary for improved evidence for clinical applications in daily practice. The Special Issue published papers on recent advances in development and application of Ultrasound Elastography.
Key Findings
1
Comparing liver elastography methods remains unresolved, particularly for evaluating portal hypertension.
2
Further research is needed to strengthen evidence supporting routine clinical use of ultrasound elastography.
3
New elastographic applications are undergoing evaluation and are approaching clinical implementation.
4
Strain imaging has been adopted across multiple medical disciplines, with EFSUMB guidelines in preparation.
5
The Special Issue presents recent advances in the development and clinical application of ultrasound elastography.
