Liver fibrosis evaluation by ARFI and APRI in chronic hepatitis C

Figure 1 Images of acoustic radiation force impulse detection with or without liver fibrosis in patients with chronic hepatitis C. A: Acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI) detection of chronic hepatitis C patients without liver fibrosis; B: ARFI detection of chronic hepatitis C patients with liver fibrosis.

Figure 2 Correlation between acoustic radiation force impulse, AST/PLT ratio index and liver fibrosis stages. Acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI) detection and AST/PLT ratio index (APRI) were positively correlated with liver fibrosis stages. A: APRI detection was positively correlated with liver fibrosis stage; B: The ARFI index was positively correlated with liver fibrosis stage.

Figure 3 ROC curves of different stages of liver fibrosis in patients with chronic hepatitis C. A: ROC curve of liver fibrosis stages ≥ S2 in patients with chronic hepatitis C; B: ROC curve of liver fibrosis stages ≥ S4 in patients with chronic hepatitis C; C: ROC curve of liver fibrosis stage = S4 in patients with chronic hepatitis C.
