Summary

 

Prevalence of diffuse liver disease is increasing globally and is now a worldwide problem. In addition to alcohol abuse or chronic hepatitis, other causes such as metabolic syndrome or liver-related conditions are emerging. The wide variety of these causes and their impact on the liver require the combination of conventional ultrasound with dedicated techniques to deliver appropriate staging of the patient. This workshop will review the use and diagnostic performance of techniques such as elastography for fibrosis or attenuation imaging for steatosis, including the last updates.
