Usefulness of noninvasive shear wave elastography for the assessment of hepatic fibrosis in dogs with hepatic disease

Abstract Background Two‐dimensional shear wave elastography (2D‐SWE) can noninvasively evaluate hepatic elastic modulus as shear wave velocity (SWV). Additionally, it may predict the presence of clinical relevant hepatic fibrosis (≥F2) in dogs with hepatic disease. Objectives To investigate whether...
