Figure 2 Stiffness measurement by two-dimensional shear wave elastography prior to transarterial chemoembolization, days 10 and days 30 after transarterial chemoembolization. A: Liver stiffness measurement by two-dimensional shear wave elastography (2D-SWE) prior to transarterial chemoembolization (TACE), days 10 and days 30 after TACE; B: Spleen stiffness measurement by 2D-SWE prior to TACE, days 10 and days 30 after TACE. P values were determined using a linear mixed-effects model. 2D-SWE: Two-dimensional shear wave elastography; LSM: Liver stiffness measurement; SSM: Spleen stiffness measurement.
