Table 2 Role of imaging techniques in clinical progression of nonalcoholic steatohepatitis
Sr. No. | Imaging modality | Ref. | Journal | Year | Results |
1 | Ultrasound | Sanyal[32] | Gastroenterology | 2002 | US is currently the preferred method in United States for screening asymptomatic patients with elevated liver enzymes and suspected NAFLD with sensitivity in detecting steatosis varying between 60%–94% |
2 | Magnetic Resonance Elastography | Iijima et al[35] | Hepatol Res | 2007 | Magnetic resonance elastography has excellent diagnostic accuracy with sensitivity and specificity of 98% and 99%, respectively, for detecting all grades of fibrosis |
Huwart et al[36] | Gastroenterology | 2008 | Magnetic resonance elastography was associated with a higher technical success rate than US elastography | ||
3 | Fibroscan | Wong et al[39] | Gut | 2012 | Transient elastography had shown good results in patients with NAFLD. It is a non-invasive method of assessing liver fibrosis which can be performed at the bedside or in the outpatient clinic |
Wong et al[40] | Hepatology | 2010 | Transient elastography had shown good results in patients with NAFLD. It is a non-invasive method of assessing liver fibrosis which can be performed at the bedside or in the outpatient clinic | ||
Ratziu et al[43] | Gastroenterology | 2005 | Fibroscan has now been validated in NAFLD, and represents a useful tool for rapid, non-invasive assessment of liver fibrosis and determining the need for biopsy. Nonetheless, fibroscan values should be interpreted in consonance with clinical, biological, and morphological data |
