Development of a method for measuring spleen stiffness by transient elastography using a new device and ultrasound-fusion method.

Development of a method for measuring spleen stiffness by transient elastography using a new device and ultrasound-fusion method.

<h4>Background</h4>Hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG) is the gold standard index for evaluating portal hypertension; however, measuring HVPG is invasive. Although transient elastography (TE) is the most common procedure for evaluating organ stiffness, accurate measurement of spleen...
