Zusammenfassung

Purpose: To measure liver stiffness (LS) with point quantification elastography (PQE) in patients (pts) with viral chronic hepatitis (VCH) and to find a correlation with the staging of disease according to liver biopsy (LB). Material and methods: Between September 2012 and February 2013, 52 pts (27 males, 25 females, mean age 49 ± 14[standard deviation], range12 – 79) with VCH were prospectively evaluated with ultrasound (US) scanning completed by PQE. All pts underwent US-guided percutaneous LB for evaluation of fibrosis (F). Examinations were performed with a iU22 scanner (Philips, Bothell, WA, USA) using a co…
