Abstract

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is common among severely obese patients. Two-dimensional shear wave elastography (2D-SWE) has been validated as a noninvasive diagnostic tool for liver stiffness measurement. However, the technical feasibility and accuracy of this method in severely obese patients are still under debate.
