Summary

Prospective study to evaluate the dignostic value of b-mode ultrasound, elastometry and mini-laparoscopic guided liver biopsy for the diagnosis of compensated liver cirrhosis.

Conditions

  • Cirrhosis

Interventions

PROCEDURE

ultrasound, liver elastometry, minilaparoscopy

* conventional high-end ultrasound technique, * small access laparoscopy with fine laparoscopes * Acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI): ARFI technology uses short-duration acoustic radiation forces (approximately 100 microseconds) to generate a localized tissue displacement which results in a lateral shear-wave propagation. ARFI shear wave velocity (SWV) measured in m/sec tracked with ultrasonic correlation-based methods is proportional to the square root of tissue elasticity.
