Summary
This study looked at 56 children with cystic fibrosis, aged 6 to 18, to compare four non-invasive methods for measuring liver scarring (fibrosis). The methods tested were FibroTest, Fibroscan, ShearWave elastography, and magnetic resonance elastography. The goal was to see which tests work best to detect early liver damage, so doctors can start treatment sooner to prevent cirrhosis.
