Objectives To perform head-to-head comparisons of the feasibility and diagnostic performance of transient elastography (TE), point shear-wave elastography (pSWE), and magnetic resonance elastography (MRE). Methods This prospective, cross-sectional, dual-center imaging study included 100 patients wit...
