Core Tip	Seventy-six patients with liver tumors were assessed by acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI) imaging. We found that liver stiffness (LS) was posi-tively correlated with Indocyanine green (ICG)-R15 and the Child-Pugh score, but was negatively correlated with ICG-K. Aspartate aminotransferase, aminotransferase and total bilirubin were positively correlated with LS, while albumin was negatively correlated with LS. The receiver-operator characteristic curve revealed that when LS value was 2.34 m/s, the Youden index was at its highest point. For patients with liver tumors, ARFI imaging is a useful tool to assess liver reserve function.
