What this Trial Is About
Currently, there is no description of the contribution of the endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)-guided shear wave elastography (SWE) when describing liver fibrosis in patients with screening criteria of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), with absent-to-mild liver fibrosis. Similar research has been published but using vibration-controlled transient elastography (VCTE), recommended mainly due to its lower cost and less invasiveness. However, VCTE is limited to the anatomical proportions of the patient's body, and cannot assess the right hepatic lobe with less reliability, contrary to the EUS-SWE.
