ARFI: from basic principles to clinical applications in diffuse chronic disease—a review

Structured PICO

Is ARFI elastography useful for quantifying fibrosis in chronic diffuse disease of the liver and kidney?

Population

Patients with chronic diffuse disease of the liver and kidney

Intervention

Acoustic Radiation Force Impulse (ARFI) elastography

Outcome

Quantification of fibrosissurrogate

ARFI elastography is a useful imaging modality for quantifying fibrosis in chronic diffuse diseases of the liver and kidney.

Abstract

• Stiffness significantly varies among normal and abnormal biological tissues. • In clinical applications physical, geometrical, anatomical and physiological factors influence the SWV. • Elastographic techniques can quantify fibrosis, which is directly related to stiffness. • ARFI can be useful in chronic diffuse disease of liver and kidney.
