Background:

The European Federation of Societies for Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology (EFSUMB) has released new guidelines.
These guidelines focus on the clinical application of ultrasound elastography.
Ultrasound elastography is a valuable tool for assessing tissue stiffness.

Purpose of the Study:

To provide a practical reference for clinicians using ultrasound elastography.
To guide the interpretation of ultrasound elastography results.
To comment on and illustrate the EFSUMB guidelines.

Main Methods:

Review of the EFSUMB Guidelines and Recommendations.
Analysis of published evidence, including meta-analyses.
Focus on liver disease assessment using shear wave and strain elastography.

Main Results:

The guidelines offer practical advice on the use and interpretation of ultrasound elastography.
Liver disease represents a significant portion of the guidelines, reflecting extensive research.
Both shear wave and strain elastography are covered.

Conclusions:

The EFSUMB guidelines serve as a crucial resource for clinical ultrasound elastography.
The guidelines emphasize practical application and interpretation, particularly for liver conditions.
This review provides commentary and visual aids to support the understanding of the guidelines.
