Comparison between vibration-controlled transient elastography and point shear wave elastography for assessment of hepatic fibrosis based on magnetic resonance elastography.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

This study prospectively compared the diagnostic accuracy of vibration-controlled transient elastography (VCTE) and point shear wave elastography (pSWE) in the assessment of liver fibrosis, versus a reference standard of magnetic resonance elastography (MRE).

Methods

This study prospectively enrolled patients with chronic liver disease, who underwent pSWE, VCTE, and MRE. Fibrosis was staged based on liver stiffness (LS) values measured using MRE: F0 (<2.61 kPa), F1 (≥2.61 to <2.97 kPa), F2 (≥2.97 to <3.62 kPa), F3 (≥3.62 to <4.69 kPa), and F4 (≥4.69 kPa). Each modality was performed independently, and the results were blinded to minimize bias. Diagnostic performance was assessed using the Pearson correlation coefficient (CC), Lin concordance correlation coefficient (
