| Description | Purpose: This study investigated the effectiveness and feasibility of shear wave elastography ((sound touch elastography) STE and (shear wave elastography) SWE) and visual transient elastography (ViTE) in the noninvasive quantitative diagnosis of liver fibrosis in chronic liver disease (CLD). Patients and Methods: A total of 106 patients with CLD underwent STE, SWE and ViTE elastography evaluation. The Young's modulus of the three elastography was valuated and the diagnostic performances of the three techniques for liver fibrosis staging were compared. The area under the receiver operating curve (ROC) for the diagnosis of liver fibrosis was compared. The final diagnosis was based on the histological findings on the liver biopsy. Results: 1) The correlation between ViTE and SWE, ViTE and STE, SWE and STE stiffness values were 0.72, 0.75, 0.75 (PConclusion: ViTE has good stability for the liver stiffness measurement (LSM) and a high consistency with shear-wave elastography (SWE and STE). It is an effective tool for evaluating CLD, and its performance is comparable to SWE and STE. The combination of ViTE and STE can improve the specificity of disease diagnosis and do not add extra cost and may improve cost performance. |
