Effect of breath control on hepatic shear wave elasticity and dispersion in pediatric patients
Breath-holding increases the reliability of pediatric 2D-SWE and SWD by improving inter-rater agreement and correlation with MRE. However, free-breathing also demonstrates comparable reproducibility with minimal bias, supporting its clinical feasibility for use in uncooperative pediatric patients.
