“…The TE was comparable to the ultrasound scoring system in evaluating for CFLD, sensitivity of 63% and specificity of 87%. TE was also comparable to the ultrasound scoring system in detection of hepatic fibrosis (30). Similarly, another study found that elasticity values of controls, pancreatic sufficient CF patients and pancreatic insufficient CF patients with an ultrasound showing either normal or homogenously hyperechoic livers, were comparable and significantly lower than in CF patients with heterogenous, nodular livers or with evidence of portal hypertension on ultrasound (P <0.002).…”
