Primary outcomePrimary: Agreement in Measured Liver Stiffness Between ARFI and MRE — 3.21; 2.48; 1.81; 2.0 kPa
Summary
A prospective, pilot study using acoustic radiation force imaging (ARFI) ultrasound (US) to quantify liver stiffness in children and young adults with chronic liver disease. ARFI results will be compared to the current clinical standard of Magnetic Resonance Elastography (MRE) and to liver biopsy when available.
