Liver Elastography and Fat Quantification: Where Do We Stand?

Tuesday, April 9, 2024

2:00pm - 3:30pm

Location:Governor's B - 4th Floor

CE: 1.5

This session will provide an expert review of the sonographic examination of a patient with liver cirrhosis and advanced techniques that will help to differentiate a healthy liver from compensated cirrhosis or fatty infiltration. A detailed review of elastography and fat quantification techniques and updates in the utilization of these applications in current practice will be discussed.
