世界医学和生物学超声联合会已经制定了这些指南,用于在肝脏疾病中使用弹性成像技术。对于每种可用的技术,再现性,分析了结果和局限性,并给出了建议。这组准则更新了第一个版本,发表于2015年。由于以前的指导方针,技术已经取得了一些进步。这些建议是基于国际出版的文献,每个建议的强度根据牛津循证医学中心进行判断。该文件具有临床观点,旨在评估弹性成像在肝脏疾病管理中的有用性。
The World Federation for Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology has produced these
guidelines for the use of elastography techniques in liver diseases. For each available technique, the reproducibility, results and limitations are analyzed, and recommendations are given. This set of
guidelines updates the first version, published in 2015. Since the prior
guidelines, there have been several advances in technology. The recommendations are based on the international published literature, and the strength of each recommendation is judged according to the Oxford Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine. The document has a clinical perspective and is aimed at assessing the usefulness of elastography in the management of liver diseases.
