Ultrasound may spot liver danger before stem cell transplant

This study looked at whether liver ultrasound and elastography (a special type of ultrasound that measures stiffness) can help predict a serious condition called sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS) before patients receive a stem cell transplant. Researchers followed 114 adult patients at a French hospital to see how often SOS occurred and if imaging could catch it early. The goal is to improve monitoring and possibly prevent severe complications.
