Liver stiffness quantification in biopsy-proven nonalcoholic fatty liver disease patients using shear wave elastography in comparison with transient elastography.

For the diagnosis of advanced fibrosis, SWE-5 showed a higher diagnostic performance (AUROC, 0.809; 95% CI, 0.684 to 0.933; P<0.001) than TE (AUROC, 0.799; 95% CI, 0.646 to 0.952; P<0.001), SWE-10 (AUROC, 0.797; 95% CI, 0.659 to 0.935; P<0.001), and SWE-3 (AUROC, 0.736; 95% CI, 0.587 to 0.885; P=0.003), although the differences among AUROC curves did not reach statistical significance (P=0.496) ( Figs. 3 , 4 ).
