Abstract
The article presents the experience of using liver elastometry and shear wave dispersion in patients after transplantation, followed by needle biopsy and morphological examination of the organ tissue. The paper shows that the use of elastometry and shear wave dispersion allows one to fairly accurately judge the state of the liver transplant parenchyma and choose the optimal strategy for treatment and management of the patient without performing an invasive procedure — puncture biopsy of the organ.
