Adaptation of the World and European Recommendations on Liver Elastography for Domestic Radiology

Abstract

The article contains an attempt to validate the world and European recommendations on liver elastography 2015–2017 for practical health care. From the position of radiology, the expert summarizes the threshold values of liver fibrosis, the ways of clinical interpretation of elastometry. Evaluation of the dynamics of algorithms in elastometry from the European recommendations 2013 to the provisions of the world and European experts 2015–2017. The feasibility of introducing various types of elastometry into domestic practice is assessed, taking into account the pace of updating of ultrasound equipment and the format of interaction between public and private medicine.
