Figure 1 Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis pentagon.
The non-alcoholic steatohepatitis pentagon consists of the five parameters of shear wave speed (SWS), dispersion slope (DS), attenuation imaging value (ATI value), Fib-4 index, and the body mass index (BMI). Based on past reports, the reference values were set as SWS 1.33 m/s, DS 8.5 (m/s)/KHz, ATI value 0.66 (dB/cm)/MHz, BMI 25.0 kg/m2, and Fib-4 index 1.3. SWS: Shear wave speed; DS: Dispersion slope; BMI: Body mass index; ATI: Attenuation imaging.
