Initial experiences with dynamic, quality indicator-based multimodal tissue analysis (M-Ref) with parallel assessment of viscosity and shear wave elastography in liver parenchyma alterations

This pilot study confirms the comprehensive capabilities of multimodal imaging for tissue characterization using B-mode, elastography, and new techniques for assessing viscoelasticity. However, extensive multicenter evaluations will be needed to definitively establish reference values specific to the type of transducer and equipment used.
