Summary

This completed study measured liver and spleen stiffness in 434 healthy children aged 0-18 using a non-invasive ultrasound technique called shear wave elastography. The goal was to establish normal reference values, which could help doctors better detect liver or spleen disease in children. No treatment was given; this was purely an observational study to improve diagnostic accuracy.
