Ziel: Vergleich zweier nicht invasiver Beurteilungsmethoden: transiente Elastografie (TE) und Acoustic Radiation Force Impulse Imaging (ARFI). Patienten Methoden: In die Studie wurden 114 eingeschlossen. 38 gesunde Probanden (ohne Fibrose – F0) 76 mit chronischen Lebererkrankungen: 53 hiervon hatten eine Leberbiopsie (LB) (7 F1, 24 F2 22 F3 Stadium nach Metavir) 23 zuvor Leberzirrhose diagnostizierte (F4 Metavir). Die Leberelastizität wurde bei allen mittels TE ARFI untersucht....
<b>Purpose</b>: To assess the value of contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) for differentiating malignant from benign focal liver lesions (FLLs) and diagnosing different FLL types. <b>Material Methods:</b> CEUS performed in 14 Romanian centers was prospectively collected between February 2011 June 2012. The inclusion criteria were: age > 18 years; patients diagnosed with 1 – 3 de novo FLLs on B-mode ultrasound; reference method (computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or...
Aim: To compare the feasibility and liver stiffness (LS) values obtained by means of two available point Shear Wave Elastographic (pSWE) techniques: ARFI elastography ElastPQ technique.Material methods: Our study included 176 subjects with or without chronic disease, in which LS was evaluated same session ElastPQ.Results: Ten valid measurements were all 97.7% cases (p=0.12).Reliable 170/176 (96.5%), so final analysis 166/176 (94.3%).The mean significantly higher than those ElastPQ:...
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common chronic worldwide. This study aimed to evaluate performance of four ultrasound-based techniques for non-invasive multiparametric (MPUS) assessment fibrosis (LF), steatosis (HS), and inflammation in patients with NAFLD. We included 215 consecutive adult NAFLD (mean age: 54.9 ± 11.7; 54.5% were male), whom LF, HS, viscosity evaluated same session using new embedded on Aixplorer MACH 30 system: ShearWave Elastography (2D-SWE.PLUS),...
Background: Sarcopenia is now recognized more and as a biomarker with poor outcomes in cirrhotic patients. Aims: The purpose of this study was to investigate the prevalence sarcopenia patients liver cirrhosis prospectively association between different complications its impact on survival. Material Methods: This prospective included admitted our department from 2018 2020. assessed according EWGSOP2 criteria, incorporating low Handgrip strength (&lt;27 kg for men &lt;16 women)...
To evaluate and compare the values of thyroid tissue elasticity in subjects without known pathology, patients with Graves' disease chronic autoimmune thyroiditis (CAT).We performed a prospective study that included 74 subjects, 23 29 22 CAT (diagnosed by specific tests). In all patients, 10 elastographic measurements were right lobe (RTL) left (LTL) using 2-6 MHz convex probe. Median calculated for each lobe, measured meters/second (m/sec). We mean ARFI value from made RTL LTL.Thyroid...
To establish an algorithm which includes the liver stiffness (LS) and/or spleen (SS) assessed by ARFI for prediction of significant esophageal varices-EV (at least grade 2).Our study included 145 newly diagnosed cirrhotic patients admitted in our Department between September 2009-August 2011. 62 (42.7%) had EV. We performed 10 measurements each patient, both and spleen; median values were calculated, expressed meters/second. In 24 consecutive 2011-December 2011, we prospectively analyzed...
to assess the inter-operator reproducibility of kidney shear wave speed, evaluated by means Acoustic Radiation Force Impulse (ARFI) elastography, and factors which influence it.Our prospective pilot study included 107 subjects with or without pathology in speed was ARFI elastography. Intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) used elastography reproducibility.A strong agreement obtained between measurements two operators: ICC = 0.71 (right kidney) 0.69 (left kidney). Smaller ICCs were "healthy...
