A New Sampling Method for Spleen Stiffness Measurement Based on Quantitative Acoustic Radiation Force Impulse Elastography for Noninvasive Assessment of Esophageal Varices in Newly Diagnosed HCV-Related Cirrhosis
Figure 4
Evaluation of interquartile range (IQR) variability according to spleen stiffness (SS) median values. IQR was significantly higher among subjects with SS median values >3 m/s in comparison with those having SS <2 m/s () or between 2 and 3 m/s (). Analogously, IQR was higher among subjects with SS median values between 2 and 3 m/s than those with SS median values <2 m/s ().
