The usefulness of shear wave velocity in managing nonalcoholic steatohepatitis

A research team from Japan investigated whether a noninvasive measurement of tissue strain has a potential usefulness for management of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). The results showed that shear wave velocity could be reproducibly measured at multiple sites and showed positive correlations with histological fibrous stages and a serum fibrous marker suggesting great potential for clarifying NASH stage and fibrosing process.
