Differential diagnosis of different types of solid focal liver lesions using two-dimensional shear wave elastography

Table 4 Differences of two-dimensional shear wave elastography results among different types of malignant focal liver lesions

	Emax of the tumors (m/s)	Emax of the periphery of tumors (m/s)
CCCs (n = 16)	2.14 ± 0.34a	1.56 ± 0.39
HCCs (n = 72)	2.14 ± 0.46b	1.54 ± 0.37
Liver metastases (n = 12)	2.73 ± 0.99	1.36 ± 0.46
F	6.418	1.299
P value	0.002	0.277

^aP = 0.005 vs liver metastases.

^bP = 0.001 vs liver metastases.

Emax: Maximal elasticity; CCCs: Cholangiocellular carcinomas; HCCs: Hepatocellular carcinomas.
