A Health Technology Assessment of Transient Elastography in Adult Liver Disease

BACKGROUND: An estimated one in 10 Canadians have some form of liver disease. The reference standard for staging and monitoring liver fibrosis is percutaneous liver biopsy – an invasive procedure associated with risks and complications. Transient elastography (TE) represents a noninvasive, ultrasoun...
