Figure 2 Average shear wave velocity (SWV) and representative photomicrographs in each fibrosis stage. SWV was measured in four segments; right anterior, right posterior, left medial and left lateral segments, and the average was calculated based on data from four segments (A) or from either one of right [Rt, (C)] or left [Lt, (D)] lobes. Histological fibrosis stages were judged along with Brunt criterion. Each horizontal bar indicates an average SWV. aP < 0.05. The photomicrographs (B) are representative Masson’s trichrome stains for fibrosis stages 1, 2, 3 and 4 from upper left, lower left, and upper right to lower right panels, respectively. Original magnification is × 100.
