Title: Impact of probe choice on diagnostic performance of vibration controlled transient elastography
Abstract: Background and aims Non-invasive assessment of fibrosis and steatosis is widely used. Especially vibration controlled transient elastography (VCTE) with liver stiffness measurement (LSM) and controlled attenuation parameter (CAP) has been evaluated in many histology-controlled studies. International guidelines recommend the M probe for leaner and the XL probe for obese patients. The probe choice is based on the patient’s anthropometry and can be made either user-dependent or based on an automated probe selection tool (AUTO). The a
