Description

This is a hands-on, interactive workshop designed to provide attendees with the fundamental knowledge and introductory skills to perform elastography in clinical practice. Attendees will be introduced to the role of elastography in disease staging with examples for use to include access to pharmacotherapy in MASH, need for hepatocellular carcinoma surveillance, and identification of clinically significant portal hypertension. Alternatives to elastography will be discussed. Hands-on training in elastography examination performance and case-based interpretation will be followed by a knowledge check.

Objectives

  • Describe the role of elastography examination in clinical practice (indications for exam), limitations and alternatives
  • Understand the technique for performing an elastography examination
  • Evaluate the quality of an elastography examination and interpretation of examination results within a broader clinical context
