Figure 4 Two-dimensional shear wave elastography (Aixplorer US system, SuperSonic Imaging, France) images of a 69-year-old male with hepatocellular carcinoma based on the cirrhosis caused by hepatitis B virus.
A: The mean Young’s modulus is 161.8 kPa and the mean shear wave velocity is 7.3 m/s, which is obviously higher than the benign lesion; B: The area of the tumor is 13.03 cm2. 2D-SWE: Two-dimensional shear wave elastography; HBV: Hepatitis B virus; HCC: Hepatocellular carcinoma; US: Ultrasound.
