A cut-off value of shear wave speed to distinguish nonalcoholic steatohepatitis candidates

To distinguish and characterize nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) candidates from among medical checkup visitor diagnosed with nonalcoholic fatty liver diseases (mcNAFLDs). A cut-off value has not been established to differentiate NASH at the earliest stage in NAFLD. Shear wave speed (SWS) was measured in the livers of 480 mcNAFLDs. NASH candidates were screened out by adopting a statistically defined cut-off value of SWS and were...
