What it is
Elastography can help measure liver stiffness.[1]
Why it matters
Increased stiffness may be a sign of fibrosis, but the result still needs clinical interpretation.[1]
What it affects
- Elastography is part of a fibrosis workup, not a universal screening conclusion.[1]
Interpretation traps
- A stiffness number without method, context, and clinician review is incomplete.[1]
