Zusammenfassung

Purpose: Chronic viral hepatitis B (HBV) and C (HCV) are the major causes of liver cirrhosis, hepatocellular carcinoma and liver transplantation worldwide. In managing patients with viral hepatitis, detection of early stages of fibrosis and progression to cirrhosis plays an important role in treatment decision. Transient elastography (TE, Fibroscan ®) and Acoustic Radiation Force Impulse (ARFI)-Imaging (Siemens Acuson S2000, Virtual TouchTM tissue quantification, Siemens) are non-invasive methods for assessment of fibrosis. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the accuracy of ARFI and TE in chronic viral…
