Appropriate utilization of different diagnostic modalities is essential for the accurate liver stiffness measurements (LSM) in patients with chronic liver diseases. The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of Virtual Touch Quantification (VTQ) and the FibroScan M and XL probes in term of accurate LSM and to identify factors associated with inadequate measurements in obese and non-obese Japanese patients.
