Hepatic elastography
Whether with GE-Logiq S8 shear-wave or Transient like fibroscan, measurements of the degree of liver stiffness are obtained, the number obtained is classified in METAVIR, it is used to know if there are changes due to fibrosis or even Cirrhosis.
02

It serves to increase diagnostic certainty in the presence of a nodule that is suspicious for malignancy.
