Non-invasive algorithms for liver fibrosis

Non-invasive assessment of liver fibrosis

Liver fibrosis is the final common pathway of most chronic liver diseases of various etiologies.The development of fibrosis determines the management policy as well as the prognosis. In recent years it became clear that the fibrotic process is reversible. Therefore early detection of liver fibrosis is critical. At present, liver biopsy is considered the gold standard for the detection of fibros...

usefulness of non-invasive tools in liver fibrosis assessment

Classification Techniques for Non-invasive Recognition of Liver Fibrosis Stage

Contemporary medicine should provide high quality diagnostic services while at the same time remaining as comfortable as possible for a patient. Therefore novel non-invasive disease recognition methods are becoming one of the key issues in the health services domain. Analysis of data from such examinations opens an interdisciplinary bridge between the medical research and artificial intelligenc...

Evolving strategies for liver fibrosis staging: Non-invasive assessment

Transient elastography and the acoustic radiation force impulse techniques may play a pivotal role in the study of liver fibrosis. Some studies have shown that elastography can detect both the progression and regression of fibrosis. Similarly, research results have been analysed and direct and indirect serum markers of hepatic fibrosis have shown high diagnostic accuracy for advanced fibrosis/c...

Clinical Application of Non-Invasive Markers of Liver Fibrosis

Liver is one of the most important organs in our body and any damage on this vital organ may be life threatening. Various factors such as toxins, heavy metals, drugs and infection with hepatitis viruses are able to influence on the function of this organ. One of the most important effects of these factors on liver is gradual necrosis of active liver cells and if this disturbance remained untrea...
