Liver fibrosis scoring by liver biopsy has become a rarity in daily practice mainly because many non-invasive methods with similar accuracy have been developed. Among all ultrasound elastography imaging methods, Strain Elastography (SE) is the most widely available. Although SE is a qualitative and semi-quantitative method, there is reliable applicability for liver fibrosis estimation and multiple ways to transform SE into a quantitative method, in order to obtain a fibrosis score. The aim of this review is to briefly introduce all these methods and to offer support in choosing the best estimation method for liver fibrosis, with SE.
