Spleen and Liver Stiffness Evaluation by ARFI Imaging: A Reliable Tool for a Short-Term Monitoring of Portal Hypertension?

Figure 6

Results for liver elastography and corresponding HVPG results: LSM results showed a moderate/good correlation with corresponding HVPG results in both baseline (a) and follow-up investigations (b). Δ-HVPG and Δ-LSM values did not show any significant correlation both in response and non-response group (c) (HVPG = hepatic venous pressure gradient; SSM = spleen stiffness measurement; LSM = liver stiffness measurement).
