Evaluation of Acoustic Radiation Force Impulse Imaging (ARFI) for the Determination of Liver Stiffness Using Transient Elastography as a Reference in Children.
PURPOSE Transient elastography (Fibroscan(©); (FS)) and acoustic radiation force impulse imaging (ARFI) represent noninvasive, user-friendly and quick methods providing an objective and reproducible measure of liver stiffness. The aim of the study was to evaluate cut-off values and performance of ARFI measurements in children using transient elastography as a reference. METHODS/PATIENTS A tot...
متن کاملProspective Comparison of Noninvasive Fibrosis Assessment to Predict Advanced Fibrosis or Cirrhosis in Asian Patients With Hepatitis C.
GOALS AND BACKGROUND The diagnostic role of noninvasive fibrosis assessment, which can obviate liver biopsy in Asian patients with hepatitis C, remains controversial. This study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of noninvasive fibrosis assessment to predict advanced fibrosis or cirrhosis in Asian patients with hepatitis C. STUDY A total of 101 antiviral treatment-naive patients with h...
متن کاملLiver and spleen stiffness measured by acoustic radiation force impulse elastography for noninvasive assessment of liver fibrosis and esophageal varices in patients with chronic hepatitis B.
OBJECTIVES To evaluate the performance of liver and spleen stiffness measured by acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI) elastography for noninvasive assessment of liver fibrosis and esophageal varices in patients with chronic hepatitis B virus. METHODS Two hundred sixty-four participants, of whom 60 were healthy volunteers (classified as stage 0), 66 were patients with chronic hepatitis B wh...
متن کاملNon-Invasive Evaluation of Cystic Fibrosis Related Liver Disease in Adults with ARFI, Transient Elastography and Different Fibrosis Scores
BACKGROUND Cystic fibrosis-related liver disease (CFLD) is present in up to 30% of cystic fibrosis patients and can result in progressive liver failure. Diagnosis of CFLD is challenging. Non-invasive methods for staging of liver fibrosis display an interesting diagnostic approach for CFLD detection. AIM We evaluated transient elastography (TE), acoustic radiation force impulse imaging (ARFI),...
متن کاملLow Pretreatment Acoustic Radiation Force Impulse Imaging (ARFI) Values Predict Sustained Virological Response in Antiviral Hepatitis C Virus (HCV) Therapy
BACKGROUND Non-invasive procedures such as acoustic radiation force impulse imaging (ARFI) shear-wave elastography are currently used for the assessment of liver fibrosis. In the course of chronic hepatitis C, significant liver fibrosis or cirrhosis develops in approximately 25% of patients, which is a negative predictor of antiviral treatment response. Cirrhosis can be prevented by successful ...
