Abstract：Objective To assess the value of ultrasonic shear wave elasticity imaging (SWE) in detecting the degree of liver fibrosis in patients with HLD.Methods By the means of SWE technique, we detected the elastic modulus of liver tissue in 45 patients with HLD liver-type, 39 patients with HLD liver and brain-type, which were compared with in 49 healthy control.Results Emean, Emax, HA, PCIII were increased in 3 groups(both P <0.05).Emean was positively correlated with HA and PCIII (r=0.526,0.495, P<0.05).Conclusion SWE technology can quantify the severity of liver fibrosis, contribute to the patient's treatment and prognosis.
