Verification of Noninvasive Evaluation Methods for Hepatic Steatosis, Inflammation, and Fibrosis Using the "Liver Package" for Aplio i-series Diagnostic Ultrasound Systems

Canon Medical Systems Corporation has been supporting research to verify noninvasive evaluation methods for liver disease using a set of applications "Liver Package" for Aplio i-series diagnostic ultrasound systems. In an international multicenter study known as the iLEAD Study, it was found that the diagnostic data obtained using Attenuation Imaging (ATI), Shear Wave Dispersion (SWD), and Shear Wave Elastography (SWE), which are applications that support “Liver Package,” show good correlations with the degree of hepatic steatosis, inflammation, and fibrosis. A paper reporting the clinical evidence and results obtained in this study has been published in the leading academic journal Radiology.
