Zusammenfassung:Background Evaluation of liver fibrosis is important to assess prognosis and guide the treatment for chronic hepatitis B. Objective To analyze and compare transient, point, and two-dimensional (2D) shear wave elastography techniques in grading the liver fibrosis. Methods Based on the severity of liver inflammation and fibrosis (Scheuer criteria), 158 patients with chronic hepatitis B were assigned into group 1 (either G or S classification
