| Abstract | [Purpose] The purpose of this study was to carry out a comparitive analysis of hepaticfibrosis results of the liver hardness of patients with chronic liver disease as measuredby elastography (TE), shear wave elastography (SWE), and liver biopsy. [Subjects andMethods] This study was a retrospective analysis of 304 patients who underwent SWE and TEbefore and after liver biopsy, taken from among patients who had been checked for liverfibrosis by liver biopsy between August 2013 and August 2014. We used receiver operatingcharacteristic (ROC) curve to prove the diagnostic significance of liver stiffness, andthen analyzed the sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, positive predictive value, andnegative predictive value of SWE and TE, as well as the kappa index through cross-analysisof SWE, TE, and liver biopsy. [Results] For liver hardness, the sensitivity of SWE was84.39%, the specificity of SWE was 97.92%, the accuracy of SWE was 87.33%, the positivepredictive value of SWE was 99.32%, and the negative predictive value of SWE was 63.51%.The sensitivity of TE was 94.80%, the specificity of TE was 77.08%, the accuracy of TE was90.95%, the positive predictive value of TE was 93.97%, and the negative predictive valueof TE was 80.43%. [Conclusion] It is our opinion that SWE and TE are non-invasive methodsthat are more effective than the invasive methods used for diagnosing liver hardness.Invasive methods cover only a section of liver tissue, and are more likely to cause sideeffects during biopsy. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
