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.
世界医学与生物学超声联合会制定了这些关于弹性成像技术在肝脏疾病中应用的指南。针对每种可用技术,分析了其可重复性、结果及局限性,并给出了建议。这组指南更新了2015年发布的第一版。自之前的指南发布以来,技术有了多项进展。这些建议基于国际上已发表的文献,每条建议的力度根据牛津循证医学中心进行判断。该文件具有临床视角,旨在评估弹性成像在肝脏疾病管理中的实用性。
