Shear Wave Elastography In Characterization Of Liver Tumours

Quantitative and noninvasive assessment of chronic liver diseases using two-dimensional shear wave elastography

Two-dimensional shear wave elastography (2D-SWE) is a rapid, simple and novel noninvasive method that has been proposed for assessing hepatic fibrosis in patients with chronic liver diseases (CLDs) based on measurements of liver stiffness. 2D-SWE can be performed easily at the bedside or in an outpatient clinic and yields immediate results with good reproducibility. Furthermore, 2D-SWE was an e...

Non-invasive assessment of liver fibrosis using two-dimensional shear wave elastography in patients with autoimmune liver diseases

AIM To determine the diagnostic accuracy of two-dimensional shear wave elastography (2D-SWE) for the non-invasive assessment of liver fibrosis in patients with autoimmune liver diseases (AILD) using liver biopsy as the reference standard. METHODS Patients with AILD who underwent liver biopsy and 2D-SWE were consecutively enrolled. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves were constructe...

Point shear wave elastography method for assessing liver stiffness.

AIM To estimate the validity of the point shear-wave elastography method by evaluating its reproducibility and accuracy for assessing liver stiffness. METHODS This was a single-center, cross-sectional study. Consecutive patients with chronic viral hepatitis scheduled for liver biopsy (LB) (Group 1) and healthy volunteers (Group 2) were studied. In each subject 10 consecutive point shear-wave ...

clinical application of shear wave elastography in breast masses

results of the 133 breast lesions, 32 were malignant and 101 were benign. in the differentiation of benign and malignant lesions, conventional us resulted in sensitivity of 100 %, specificity of 43.0 %, ppv of 57.1 %, npv of 36.7 %, and accuracy of 100 %. regarding swe, the sensitivity, specificity, ppv, npv, and accuracy values based on emax were 84.4 %, 89.1 %, 71.1 %, 94.7 %, and 88.0 %, res...
