Shear wave elastography and shear wave dispersion correlated to biopsy at the scheduled follow-up of pediatric liver grafts.

Uncomplicated transplanted liver grafts in a small pediatric cohort revealed slightly increased SWE and SWD values compared to previously reported values in healthy children. This likely reflect both the fibrotic and inflammatory elements in the grafts; however, other confounders impacting the liver's viscoelastic properties are also probable factors.
