Transient elastography with controlled attenuation parameter versus two-dimensional shear wave elastography with attenuation imaging for the evaluation of hepatic steatosis and fibrosis in NAFLD

Purpose This study compared the controlled attenuation parameter (CAP) to attenuation imaging (ATI) in the diagnosis of steatosis and transient elastography (TE) to two-dimensional shear wave elastography (2D-SWE) for the diagnosis of fibrosis in a prospectively constructed nonalcoholic fatty liver...

description Purpose This study compared the controlled attenuation parameter (CAP) to attenuation imaging (ATI) in the diagnosis of steatosis and transient elastography (TE) to two-dimensional shear wave elastography (2D-SWE) for the diagnosis of fibrosis in a prospectively constructed nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) patient cohort. Methods Participants who underwent TE with CAP were included from a previously constructed NAFLD cohort with multiparametric ultrasound data. The degree of hepatic steatosis and stage of liver fibrosis were assessed. Diagnostic performance was evaluated using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) for the grades of steatosis (S1-3) and fibrosis (F0-F4). Results There were 105 participants. The distribution of hepatic steatosis grades (S0-S3) and liver fibrosis stages (F0-F4) was as follows: S0, n=34; S1, n=41; S2, n=22; S3, n=8; F0, n=63; F1, n=25; F2, n=5; F3, n=7; and F4, n=5. No significant difference was found between CAP and ATI in detecting ≥S1 (AUROC: 0.93 vs. 0.93, P=0.956) or ≥S2 (0.94 vs. 0.94, P=0.769). However, the AUROC of ATI in detecting ≥S3 was significantly higher than that of CAP (0.94 vs. 0.87, P=0.047). Regarding the detection of liver fibrosis, no significant difference was found between TE and 2D-SWE. The AUROCs of TE and 2D-SWE were as follows: ≥F1, 0.94 vs. 0.89 (P=0.107); ≥F2, 0.89 vs. 0.90 (P=0.644); ≥F3, 0.91 vs. 0.90 (P=0.703); and ≥F4, 0.88 vs. 0.92 (P=0.209). Conclusion 2D-SWE and TE showed comparable diagnostic performance in assessing liver fibrosis, and ATI provided significantly better performance in detecting ≥S3 steatosis than CAP.
