However, data on hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) are lacking.

Prediction of long‐term morbidity and mortality after liver transplantation using two‐dimensional shear wave elastography compared with liver biopsy

Mohammad Amin Fallahzadeh, Sumeet K. Asrani, Elham Vahhab, Vivian S. Ebrahim, Giovanna Saracino, Saleh Elwir, James F.
