Shear-wave elastography is a type of ultrasound test. During this exam, we scan the density of your liver tissue to determine whether you have a condition called hepatic fibrosis, a rare disease in which there is excess protein buildup in the liver.
This noninvasive test is a wonderful method to help us diagnose liver disease, as well as a method by which we can monitor medical treatment of the disease. Learn more about shear-wave elastography from radiologist Leah Schafer, MD, in the below videos.
