EUS-Guided ATI and SWE in Individuals With Normal FibroScan (EUS ATI&SWE)
"EUS-Guided Attenuation Imaging and Shear Wave Elastography in Individuals With Normal FibroScan: Establishing Preliminary Reference Values in a Pilot Feasibility Study".
The goal of this observational study is to establish preliminary reference values for Endoscopic Ultrasound (EUS)-guided Attenuation Imaging (ATI) and Shear Wave Elastography (SWE) in adults undergoing diagnostic EUS for non-hepatobiliary indications who have normal FibroScan findings. The main questions it aims to answer are:
What are the preliminary normal reference values for EUS-guided ATI in the right and left hepatic lobes? What are the preliminary normal reference values for EUS-guided SWE elasticity (kPa) and velocity (m/s) in the right and left hepatic lobes?
Participants will:
Undergo same-day FibroScan assessment to confirm normal liver stiffness and steatosis parameters.
Undergo EUS-guided ATI and SWE measurements of both the right and left hepatic lobes during their clinically indicated diagnostic EUS examination.
Have demographic, clinical, and laboratory information recorded for analysis.

詳細な説明
Vibration-controlled transient elastography (FibroScan) with Liver Stiffness Measurement (LSM) and Controlled Attenuation Parameter (CAP) is widely used for the non-invasive assessment of liver fibrosis and steatosis. Although these techniques have demonstrated good diagnostic performance, they have several limitations, including technical failure in obese individuals, reduced accuracy in the presence of ascites or narrow intercostal spaces, and the inability to obtain real-time image-guided measurements from specific areas of the liver.
Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) provides high-resolution imaging of both hepatic lobes through the stomach and duodenum, allowing quantitative assessment of liver tissue under direct visualization. Recent advances have enabled the integration of Attenuation Imaging (ATI), which quantifies hepatic steatosis, and Shear Wave Elastography (SWE), which measures liver stiffness by estimating tissue elasticity and shear wave velocity, into EUS platforms. These techniques may overcome several limitations of conventional transabdominal elastography and have the potential to provide more reliable liver tissue characterization.
Before EUS-guided ATI and SWE can be evaluated as diagnostic tools for liver disease, normal reference values in individuals without liver disease must be established. Currently, there are limited data regarding normal EUS-guided ATI and SWE measurements, particularly in healthy adults with normal FibroScan findings. Establishing these reference ranges is essential for interpreting future studies involving patients with hepatic steatosis and chronic liver disease.
This prospective, single-center, observational pilot feasibility study aims to establish preliminary reference values for EUS-guided ATI and SWE in adults undergoing diagnostic EUS for non-hepatobiliary indications who have normal FibroScan examinations. A total of 100 participants will be enrolled after confirming normal liver stiffness (LSM <7.5 kPa) and steatosis (CAP <238 dB/m), along with adequate FibroScan quality criteria.
During the clinically indicated EUS examination, quantitative liver assessment will be performed without introducing additional invasive procedures beyond standard EUS. Attenuation Imaging will be obtained from both the right and left hepatic lobes, with five valid measurements acquired per lobe. Shear Wave Elastography will also be performed in both lobes, with ten valid measurements obtained per lobe. Measurements will be accepted only if predefined quality criteria are met, including acceptable correlation coefficients, propagation maps, and reliability indices. Acquisition time, technical success, and measurement reproducibility will also be recorded.
The primary outcome of the study is to establish preliminary reference values for EUS-guided ATI, SWE elasticity (kPa), and SWE velocity (m/s) for both hepatic lobes. Secondary objectives include evaluating the technical feasibility and reliability of EUS-guided quantitative liver assessment, assessing agreement between right and left hepatic lobe measurements, determining correlations between ATI and FibroScan CAP, evaluating correlations between SWE and FibroScan LSM, and documenting acquisition times for both techniques.
The findings from this pilot study will provide foundational reference data for EUS-guided quantitative liver imaging and support the design of larger validation studies investigating the role of EUS-guided ATI and SWE in the diagnosis and monitoring of hepatic steatosis and fibrosis.
