Ultrasound-MRI Agreement in Individuals Undergoing Surveillance of Fontan-associated Liver Disease
There is poor to fair agreement between ultrasound and MRI for detecting manifestations of FALD, with ultrasound having poor sensitivity compared with MRI. While ultrasound detected all 3 clinically important liver lesions in our study, our results raise questions about whether ultrasound is an appropriate screening tool for FALD in patients post-Fontan.
