Non‐Invasive Imaging Assessment of Liver Fibrosis

Chronic liver disease (CLD) is a major cause of global morbidity and mortality, with outcomes closely linked to the severity of liver fibrosis. While liver biopsy has historically been the reference standard for fibrosis staging, its invasiveness, sampling variability and limited...

Sequential FIB-4–based testing limits detection of fibrotic MASLD despite optimized ELF thresholds

Background: Societal guidance recommends sequential noninvasive testing for metabolic dysfunction–associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), using Fibrosis-4 (FIB-4) ≥1.3 as a gatekeeper before second-line assessment with the Enhanced Liver Fibrosis (ELF) score (<7.7 as a rul...
