6. The Diagnosis of Liver Fibrosis
Clinical Impact
• Evaluation of fibrosis (presence & severity)
=> change in disease management: follow-up
- Screening for eosophageal varices
- Screening for hepatocellular carcinoma
• Monitoring fibrosis progression
- Natural history of liver fibrosis
- Treatment decision
- Monitoring treatment efficacy
7. The Liver Biopsy
• Reference test (« gold standard »)
• Advantage
- Information about etiology and cofactors
- Additional information with immuno-histochemical
biochemical and biohumoral studies
- Iron content assessment
- Grading (activity) and staging (fibrosis)
8. • Due to the procedure: • Due to pathology:
- Invasive procedure - Sampling error
- Poor patient compliance - Intra/interobserver variability in
- Complications fibrosis stage assessment
morbidity: 1/1000 mortality: 1/10000 - Non dynamic evaluation of fibrosis
- Disease progression beyond F4
=> Not ideal procedure for disease progression evaluation
=> Not useful in the evaluation of antifibrotic agents in
patients with advanced disease

10. Non invasive assessment of Liver Fibrosis
• Biochemical tests
• Conventional imaging test (US)
• Liver stiffness evaluation
- 1D-stiffness evaluation (FibroScan™)
- 2D-stiffness evaluation
- Real time acquisition (SWE –AixPlorer™

12. US Elastography
What is it?
• A method to evaluate soft tissue elasticity in a
qualitative, semi-quantitative or quantitative ways
K
µ
e
s • Elasticity modulus= Young modulus
E = S/e (Pa)
• 2 coefficients to characterize the
mechanical properties of a solid:
- Compression modulus K: deformation with
volume change; K almost constant and very high
in soft tissues (109 Pa)
- Shear modulus: deformation at constant
volume (102 - 107 Pa)
K>> µ => E ≈ 3 µ
13. US elastography
Two different approaches
• Strain imaging: Strain E (All?) / ARFI Imaging (Siemens)
• Shear Wave Elastography: quantitative
- Shear Wave speed MEASUREMENTS
- Transient Elastography FibroScan® (Echosens); NO image (1D)
- ARFI Quantification: point shear wave elastography (B-mode, 1D)
(Siemens, Philips, Hitachi-Aloka)
- Shear Wave speed IMAGING (2D/3D-SWE)
- US induced ARFI focused at various depths: B-mode ref., E. 2D map,
SINGLE (Siemens) / REFRESHED (Toshiba, Philips, Mindray-Zonare)
- US induced ARFI with multiple simultaneous lines in a « comb push »
combined with directional filtering B-mode ref., E. 2D map (GE)
- US induced radiation force swept over depth faster than shear wave
speed to create a Mach cone (Supersonic Imagine) RT - E. 2D map
Dietrich C. et al. Ultraschall Med. 2017
14. • Quantitative stiffness measurement
– shear-wave generation using a low
frequency vibration (50 Hz)
– US transducer to measure the shear-wave speed
- elastogram allowing stiffness calculation

23. SWE liver elastography
Liver examination protocol
• Patient preparation:
– Fasting >2h (as for liver US) + resting for 10min
- Patient position: supine slight left oblique
decubitus with right arm up
- Preset: liver, SWE penetration,
scale: 30-50 kPa
- Optimize intercostal windows on right liver +++
=> homogeneous pattern + no shadowing
- Using significant pressure on transducer to:
open space and reduce attenuation (gel)
- During breath hold (avoid deep inspiration)
24. Non invasive assessment of Liver Fibrosis
Shear-Wave Elastography
• Advantage
- easy acquisition coupled to US examination
- double screen window: simultaneous display of B-mode for
(guidance) and SWE frame (elasticity measurement)
- “quasi” real time acquisition allowing identification of
artifacts (movement artifact, capsule, vessels…)
- Large ROI that can be fitted to anatomical structure
- 2D-map evaluation of liver stiffness
- Local true quantitative measurement in kPa
25. SWE liver elastography
Stiffness measurement
• Quantification using the Q-Box™:
- position: over a homogeneous area of the ROI
excluding acoustic shadows
- size: large (10-20 mm in diameter) fitting an homogeneous area
=> allows evaluation of heterogeneity (SD) and highest stiffness values
- elasticity information in Q-Box™:
- Mean: average of elasticity values: most relevant information
- Min: minimal elasticity value
- Max: maximal elasticity value
- SD: standard deviation of the mean
- Average 3-5 acquisitions of mean elasticity
26. Criteria for reliable SWE measurements
• Stability Index > 90%
• Minimum elasticity value ≥ 0.2 kPa
• Depth of measurement < 5.6 cm
• SD < 1.75 kPa and Qbox > 18 mm
• SD/median < 10%
• IQR/median ≤ 30%
• SD/mean < 30%

• Normal liver stiffness (transducer) SC6-1: 2.6 – 6.2 kPa
4.5 – 5.5 kPa (95th percentile 6.2 kPa)
Healthy men> women, no influence of BMI and age
- Qbox position: 1-2 cm below the liver capsule
• Analysis of 9 studies with healthy volunteers: 5.0 ± 1.4 kPa
vs F0-F1 with chronic liver disease (8 studies):
mean SWE 6.7 ± 2.0 kPa

44. • SWE high diagnostic performance
• Spleen SWE: feasible, correlated to CSPH
• SWE advantages:
=> Easy to perform => quick learning curve
=> Diagnosis of early fibrosis (F1F2) and cirrhosis
=> Good reproducibility and limited intra/inter observer variability
=> No limitation due to ascites (at the contrary of TE)
=> Part of routine liver US: fibrosis screening, nodule characterization
• New tools (WiP): visco-elasticity, attenuation, inflammation
