Article Synopsis
- Acoustic radiation force impulse point shear wave elastography (ARFI-pSWE) is a technique used to measure liver stiffness by analyzing shear-wave velocity (SWV), but its effectiveness in assessing liver fibrosis in chronic hepatitis B (CHB) patients was previously unclear.
- A study involving 114 adult CHB patients determined that ARFI-pSWE has a strong correlation with FibroScan, suggesting it is a reliable method for staging liver fibrosis.
- The optimal SWV cut-off values found were 1.37 m/s for significant fibrosis and 1.70 m/s for cirrhosis, with high sensitivity and specificity for both conditions, indicating ARFI-pSWE's potential as a diagnostic tool in clinical settings
