Intra-individual comparison of two-dimensional shear wave elastography techniques using plane wave imaging and the multi-beam technique: are they interchangeable in measuring liver fibrosis?

Abstract: Objective: To compare two different two-dimensional (2D) shear wave elastography (SWE) techniques, plane wave imaging (PWI) and multi-beam (MB), from the same vendor, to evaluate liver fibrosis. Materials and Methods:In this prospective study, 42 patients with chronic liver disease who had recently undergone magnetic resonance (MR) elastography (<3 months) were enrolled, and their liver stiffness (LS) values were measured using two different 2D SWE techniques (PWI or MB) from the same vendor. The LS values (kP… Show more

“…Very few studies are available in the literature on the detection of early fibrosing changes in transplanted kidneys using sonoelastography, which assesses stiffness as a measure of fibrosis[ 34 - 36 , 45 - 50 ]. A large number of studies are available for superficial organs like the breast and thyroid gland[ 15 - 26 ]. The native kidneys are deep-seated and hence, have been little investigated by this technique[ 27 - 32 ].…”

“…Recent studies have suggested that quantitative elastography is a reliable non-invasive tool to assess chronic fibrosing changes in organs like the liver[ 22 - 26 ] and kidney[ 27 - 32 ] at early stages. A few studies have investigated the usefulness of sonoelastography in the assessment of chronic fibrosing changes in the kidney allograft[ 33 - 36 ].…”
