| Core Tip |
In this study, we aimed to evaluate the feasibility of parameters of endogenously induced displacements and strain of the liver to assess the degree of portal hypertension. Endogenous motion of the liver was characterized by derived parameters of region average tissue displacement signal and results of endogenous tissue strain imaging using specific radiofrequency signal processing algorithm. Our proposed parameters correlated with hepatic venous pressure gradient and statistically significant differences were observed between patient groups with clinically significant and severe portal hypertension. To our knowledge it is the first study to evaluate prognostic potential of endogenous motion parameters to detect clinically significant and severe portal hypertension. |
