[Consensus on clinical application of transient elastography detecting liver fibrosis: a 2018 update].

Transient elastography is a noninvasive, rapid ultrasonic elastography, and assess liver fibrosis by detetcting liver stiffness. Current consensus focuses on understanding influence factors on operation and diagnosis, recommendations for clinical application on detetcting liver fibrosis of chronic liver disease and monitoring development of related complication hepatocelullar carcinoma, high risk esophageal varices, and also summarizes the potential aplication on liver disease screening and liver fibrosis regression assessment.瞬时弹性成像技术是一种超声弹性成像技术，通过检测肝组织硬度评估肝纤维化分期，具有非创伤性、快速等优点。本共识围绕操作、诊断影响因素及常见慢性肝疾病肝纤维化分期诊断、并发症监测等内容进行文献复习并提出临床应用推荐意见，对人群肝病筛查、评估肝纤维化逆转等拓展应用作简要概括。.
