Abstract Elastography point quantification (ElastPQ) is a new ultrasound-based shear wave elastography method for non-invasive assessment of liver fibrosis. We evaluated the diagnostic accuracy of ElastPQ in patients with chronic viral hepatitis. Fibrosis stage (F) was determined by transient elastography (F0/F1:
