Background: Non-invasive shear wave-based techniques have been developed for estimating liver fibrosis in patients with chronic liver diseases. Two-dimensional shear wave elastography provides in real-time, a tow dimensional quantitative map of tissue stiffness and enables measuring the stiffness by adjustment of a region of interest of tissue. The aim of this study was to highlight the role of tow dimensional shear wave elastography (2DSWE) in detecting the degree of liver fibrosis in patients with chronic hepatitis C and B, in correlation with liver enzymes level and fibrotest Results: This study included 50 patients with chronic hepatitis C and B whose ages were (range, 30-65 years; mean, 48 years). Shear wave elastography cutoff values were 1.35 m/s, 5.48 KPa for (F>0); 1.66 m/s, 8.29 kPa for (F>1); 1.77 m/s, 9.40 kPa for (F>2); and 1.99 m/s, 11.9 kPa for (F>3). An excellent agreement was found between shear wave elastography and Fibrotest in staging of liver fibrosis in 88% of patients (κw=0.943, 95% CI, 0.88 to 1.00) achieving a highly statistical significance (P0.05) Conclusions: 2D shear wave elastography showed better diagnostic performance than visual assessment by conventional US for detection of chronic liver diseases, as well as for evaluation of their severity and prognosis. Elastograhy—Fibrotest combination gives best diagnostic performance in detecting the degree of fibrosis noninvasively and can be used reliably as a first-line pre-therapeutic evaluation of fibrosis in HCV and HBV-infected patients.
