Resumen
Liver stiffness measurement (LSM) by transient elastography has been validated as a noninvasive method to stage liver fibrosis. Few studies have evaluated the learning curve of this method and its reproducibility has led to controversy results. We aimed to evaluate the intra- and interobserver agreement of transient elastography as well as its learning curve for definition of an experimented operator. 2019-02-01
