A single-center, retrospective, cross-sectional study comparing the number of non-diagnostic measurements ratio in the pSWE and SSI ultrasound elastography methods.

The point shear wave elastography and supersonic shear imaging methods were compared regarding incorrect measurements during the liver examinations. A report-based, single-center, retrospective analysis of 425 liver elastography examinations was performed. A lower success ratio was observed for the point shear wave elastography method, as well as the older and obese patients pre-dominated in non-diagnostic studies. In our center experience, it is easier to obtain diagnostic data using the supersonic shear imaging method. However, further investigation of the subject is needed.
