Two-dimensional shear wave elastography and ultrasound-guided attenuation parameter for progressive non-alcoholic steatohepatitis.

ABSTRACT:

Background and aims

We investigated the usefulness of combining two-dimensional shear wave elastography and the ultrasound-guided attenuation parameter for assessing the risk of progressive non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, defined as non-alcoholic steatohepatitis with a non-alcoholic fatty liver disease activity score of ≥4 and a fibrosis stage of ≥2.

Methods

This prospective study included 202 patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease who underwent two-dimensional shear wave elastography, ultrasound-guided attenuation parameter, vibration-controlled transient elastography, the controlled attenuation parameter, and liver biopsy on the same day. Patients were grouped according to liver stiffness measurement using two-dimensional shear wave elastography and the attenuation
