Diagnostic utility of shear wave elastography in pediatric celiac disease: Assessment of mesenteric and ileal stiffness
Increased mesenteric and ileal stiffness in children with CD likely reflect transmural involvement and structural remodeling beyond the mucosal injury. These findings demonstrate that SWE has good diagnostic utility and may serve as a valuable complementary noninvasive tool in the evaluation and clinical monitoring of pediatric CD.
