Abstract:

Quantitative ultrasound (QUS) envelope statistics imaging is an emerging technique for the assessment of hepatic steatosis in adults. Blood tests are currently recommended as the screening tool for pediatric hepatic steatosis, a condition that can lead to liver fibrosis in children. This study examined the utility of QUS envelope statistics imaging in grading biomarker-diagnosed hepatic steatosis and detecting liver fibrosis in a pediatric population. A total of 173 subjects was enrolled (Group A) for QUS envelope statistics imaging using two statistical distributions, Nakagami and homodyned K (HK) models, and information entropy. QUS parameter values were compared with the hepatic steatosis index (HSI) and steatosis grade (G0: HSI <30; G1: 30 < HSI <36; G2: 36 < HSI <41.6; G3: >41.6). An additional cohort of 63 subjects (Group B) was recruited to undergo both QUS envelope statistics imaging and liver stiffness measurements (LSM) obtained from the transient elastography (Fibroscan), with a cutoff value set at 5 kPa to indicate liver fibrosis. The diagnostic performances were evaluated using the area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC). QUS envelope statistics imaging generated the AUROC values for steatosis grading at levels > G1, > G2, and > G3 ranged from 0.94 to 0.97, 0.91 to 0.93, and 0.83 to 0.87, respectively, and produced an AUROC range of between 0.82 and 0.84 for identifying liver fibrosis. QUS envelope statistics imaging integrates the benefits of both biomarkers and elastography, enabling the screening of hepatic steatosis and detection of liver fibrosis in a pediatric population.
