About this study

HITACH developed a new combi-elastography imaging technology combines shear wave imaging and strain imaging technology. In the study, not only the F index which is related to the stage of liver fibrosis can be obtained, but also the A index which is related to the stage of hepatitis can be obtained, which can not be obtained by other ultrasound devices.

Read the detailed description

HITACHI developed a new combi-elastography imaging technology combines shear wave imaging and strain imaging technology to make full use of these two imaging modalities and make full use of different physical characteristics for imaging and quantitative analysis.

In the study, not only the F index which is related to the stage of liver fibrosis can be obtained, but also the A index which is related to the stage of hepatitis can be obtained, which can not be obtained by other ultrasound devices.

This technology is non-invasive, painless, simple and reliable, therefore it is bound to contribute to the early diagnosis of chronic liver disease and the real-time evaluation in the treatment process, which will play an important role in the clinical application.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. F index

    To study the correlation between F index and the degree of fibrosis in patients of chronic liver disease.

    Measured: 15 minutes

  2. A index

    To study the correlation between A index and the degree of hepatitis in patients of chronic liver disease.

    Measured: 15 minutes

  3. ATT index

    To study the correlation between ATT index and the degree of steatosis in patients of metabolic associated fatty liver disease.

    Measured: 15 minutes

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Jie Yu, Doctor (010-66937981, yu-jie301@hotmail.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

F index (time frame: 15 minutes). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 12 Jan 2021.
