Zusammenfassung

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic performance of a point shear wave elastography using ARFI technique- ElastPQ, in patients with B and C chronic hepatopathies, using Transient Elastography (TE) as the reference method, since it is a validated method for liver fibrosis assessment. Methods: The study included 193 consecutive subjects with chronic hepatopathies (32.6% HBV, 67.4% HCV) from whom 42.5% had liver cirrhosis. Liver stiffness (LS) was evaluated in the same session by means of 2 elastographic methods: TE (Fibroscan, Echosens) and ElastPQ (Philips, Affinity) techniques. Reliable…
