Measurement of Shear Wave Velocity Using Acoustic Radiation Force Impulse Imaging is not Hampered by Previous Use of Ultrasound Contrast Agents

Abstract

ARFI showed excellent inter-observer reproducibility between 2 skilled physicians. UCA did not affect the measurement of SWV in both liver parenchyma and FLL, at least when performed 4 minutes after the contrast injection. ARFI may become an additional tool in the differential diagnosis of FLL.
