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

Figure 3 Ultrasound and pathologic images in a 51-year old male patients with hepatocellular carcinomas. A: A tumor shown on conventional ultrasound were diagnosed as undetermined; B: Tumor shown as stiffer, compared with surrounding liver tissue in two-dimensional shear wave elastography velocity mode; C: Maximal elasticity of the tumor was higher than 1.905 m/s and the tumor was diagnosed as malignant; D: Pathological examination confirmed the tumor as hepatocellular carcinomas (HE, × 200).
