ARFI: a new non-invasive method for evaluation of liver fibrosis

We evaluate the Acoustic Radiation Force Impulse (ARFI) for the non-invasive assessment of liver fibrosis in chronic liver disease patients, compared with transient electrography (FibroScan®502). Liver stiffness values measured by FibroScan®502 correlates well with liver fibrosis stage (F0-1: 5.5 Kp...

Zusammenfassung:	We evaluate the Acoustic Radiation Force Impulse (ARFI) for the non-invasive assessment of liver fibrosis in chronic liver disease patients, compared with transient electrography (FibroScan®502). Liver stiffness values measured by FibroScan®502 correlates well with liver fibrosis stage (F0-1: 5.5 Kpa, F2: 8.6 Kpa, F3: 10.5 Kpa, F4: 17.8 Kpa). In addition, liver stiffness quantification by ARFI is very well correlated with liver stiffness values by FibroScan®502 (r=0.88, P
