COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF ULTRASOUND ELASTOGRAPHY AND LIVER BIOPSY IN THE ASSESSMENT OF LIVER FIBROSIS
Keywords:
ultrasound elastography, liver biopsy, liver fibrosis, chronic liver disease, diagnosticsAbstract
Accurate assessment of liver fibrosis is essential in chronic liver diseases. Liver biopsy has traditionally been considered the reference method, while ultrasound elastography has become a widely used non-invasive alternative. The aim of this study was to compare ultrasound elastography and liver biopsy in evaluating liver fibrosis. The analysis demonstrated that elastography is safe, repeatable, and effective for detecting advanced fibrosis and cirrhosis. Biopsy remains valuable when detailed histological information is required. A combined diagnostic approach may improve accuracy and reduce unnecessary invasive procedures.
