PTU-024 A “real world” controlled study of liver stiffness measured by ARFI (acoustic radiation force impulse) elastography in hospitalised patients with decompensated alcoholic liver disease (ALD): a new paradigm in assessment of severity and prognosis?

Abstract

IntroductionAcoustic Radiation Force Impulse (ARFI, Virtual Touch©) elastography is a novel validated technique for measuring liver stiffness (LS), with advantages over transient elastography including greater accuracy in ascites or obesity....
