Development of Predictive Indicators of Homogeneous Propagation of Ultrasound and Elastic Waves During VCTE Examination

Development of Predictive Indicators of Homogeneous Propagation of Ultrasound and Elastic Waves During VCTE Examination

This is an European, prospective, interventional, and multicenter exploratory clinical investigation that will take place in 6 French sites and 200 patients will be included (adults and children). The study objective is to develop predictive indicators of homogeneous propagation of ultrasound and elastic waves to define an optimal region of interest for the measurement of liver stiffness during VCTE examination.

Inclusion Criteria:

• Adult and pediatric patients, all etiologies combined
• Patient must be able to give written informed consent, or the parents in the case of a minor patient
• Patient affiliated to a social security system
