conclusions the pattern of longitudinally increased liver stiffness measurements efficiently supported clinical decisions for individualized management strategies. repeated transient elastography in real-life clinical practice appears to have a practical role in monitoring liver transplanted patients. background liver transplanted patients need close surveillance for early signs of graft diseas...

A computer aided diagnosis methodology for identifying pathology of human liver using 11 statistical textural features extracted from ultrasonography of 14 fatty and 28 normal livers is presented. It was found that supervised classification could differentiate these two classes of data while unsupervised learning failed to achieve that. For supervised learning input sets were constructed in two...
