SWE examinations were performed using an Aixplorer Ultrasound system (SuperSonic Imagine, Aix-en-Provence, France) equipped with the SC6-1 convex probe. One radiologist (TWS) performed the SWE examination independently according to the European Federation of Societies for Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology (EFSUMB) guidelines (18 (link)). During the examination, the patient was asked to hold their breath, and the operator should maintain immobilization for a few seconds without pressure for SWE image acquisition.

The SC6-1 convex probe is a medical imaging device designed for use with ultrasound systems. It is a transducer that converts electrical energy into sound waves, which are then used to create images of the body's internal structures. The probe has a convex shape, which allows for a wider field of view during imaging procedures.

2D-SWE was performed on each patient after hospital admission as previously reported.20 (link) In brief, liver stiffness was measured by ultrasonography (US) using and Aixplorer system (SuperSonic Imagine, Aix-en-Provence, France) with an SC6-1 convex probe (1–6 MHz). A 4 cm × 3 cm 2D-SWE rectangular elasticity box was placed 1–2 cm under the liver capsule in a parenchyma area free of large vessels. Two examiners with experience in performing over 500 2D-SWEs, performed the procedures and were blinded to the patients’ clinical and laboratory data. The median of five independent kPa values was used in the analysis.
About PubCompare
Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.
We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.
However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
