Ultrasound Elastography and MR Elastography for Assessing Liver Fibrosis: Part 1, Principles and Techniques.
OBJECTIVE The purpose of this article is to provide an overview of ultrasound and MR elastography, including a glossary of relevant terminology, a classification of elastography techniques, and a discussion of their respective strengths and limitations. CONCLUSION Elastography is an emerging technique for the noninvasive assessment of mechanical tissue properties. These techniques report metr...
متن کاملAssessment of liver fibrosis: comparison of the liver fibrosis index by real-time ultrasound elastography and the apparent diffusion coefficient by magnetic resonance imaging in a rat model
Background: non-invasive method, apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) and the liver fibrosis index (LFI), assessment of liver fibrosis has been one of major objectives in the society of hepatologists. Aim: To explore the variable characteristics of ADC and the LFI in different stages of liver fibrosis in rats and to compare their performance in staging liver fibrosis. Methods: Liver fibrosis mo...
متن کاملBiopsy-Controlled Liver Fibrosis Staging Using the Enhanced Liver Fibrosis (ELF) Score Compared to Transient Elastography
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Chronic liver diseases are characterized by inflammatory and fibrotic liver injuries that often result in liver cirrhosis with its associated complications such as portal hypertension and hepatocellular carcinoma. Liver biopsy still represents the reference standard for fibrosis staging, although transient elastography is increasingly used for non-invasive monitoring of fibr...
متن کاملUltrasound Elastography Used for Preventive Non-Invasive Screening in Early Detection of Liver Fibrosis
BACKGROUND Early discovery of liver fibrosis is becoming more popular because of enhanced incidence of hepatocellular carcinoma. Ultrasound-based liver elastography is a method used to approve suspected liver fibrosis or cirrhosis. We assessed the clinical usefulness of acoustic radiation force impulse shear wave elasticity imaging (ARFI-SWEI) as a preventive screening method to uncover fibrosi...
متن کاملUltrasound shear wave elastography and liver fibrosis: A Prospective Multicenter Study
AIM To assess the accuracy of shear wave elastography (SWE) alone and in combination with aminotransferase platelet ratio index (APRI) score in the staging of liver fibrosis. METHODS A multicenter prospective study was conducted to assess the accuracy of SWE (medians) and APRI to predict biopsy results. The analysis focused on distinguishing the different stages of liver disease, namely, F0 f...
