An observational study in Visceral Stiffness and Liver Fibrosis, sponsored by China Medical University Hospital. Status unknown at 1 site in Taiwan. Open to participants aged 18 Years to 75 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2011-05-26.
Sponsored by China Medical University Hospital · Observational
The acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI) technology provides real-time measurements of tissue stiffness.
Aim: Using the ARFI ultrasonography, the investigators aims are to complete the correlation and validity studies between visceral ARFI quantification and the referenced Metavir fibrosis scoring and to conduct subsequent innovative studies on liver diseases.
Using ARFI technology, we are establishing a complete hepatic and visceral shear wave spectrum to correspond to the entire METAVIR fibrosis scoring and various functional stratifications.
1,642 studies on the registry are indexed under Liver Cirrhosis; 358 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 200 is above the median of 151 across 587 observational studies indexed under Liver Cirrhosis.
