| Core Tip |
Superb microvascular imaging (SMI) is an innovative Doppler ultrasound technology that employs a unique algorithm to allow for the visualization of minute vessels with slow blood flow. In the present study, we identified the hepatic vascular architecture of patients with hepatitis C virus (HCV) using SMI and investigated the use of SMI in the evaluation of liver fibrosis. SMI allowed for the detailed delineation of the vascular architecture in chronic liver disease patients. Significant differences were found in the SMI pattern distribution and the fibrosis stage. SMI appears to be a reliable tool for noninvasively detecting significant fibrosis or cirrhosis in patients with HCV. |
