5 FibroScan Echosens, Paris, France Relies on the measurement of the velocity of a low-frequency (50 Hz) elastic shear wave propagating through the liver; that is, directly related to tissue stiffness (the stiffer the tissue the faster the shear wave propagates) Q: What are the advantages of Fibroscan testing? A: -Noninvasive test, easily used at the point of care; -No pain; -Faster, only takes 5-7 min averagely; -Less expensive than liver biopsy; -Clinician get report simultaneously, and can explain to patients at the point of care; -FDA approved device for non-invasive liver diagnosis. Q: Is it validated against liver biopsy, the gold standard? A: Etiology Histology score CHC METAVIR system AUROC for fibrosis Nezam H. Afdhal. Gastroenterology & Hepatology 2012; 9 Castera L. et al.

6 FibroTouch : A 3 rd generation transient elastography that integrates a two-dimensional (2D)-image guided system for precise positioning, has been available for clinical use in China since FibroTouch possesses independent intellectual property rights (Patent No.: ZL ). Patent for Liver fibrosis detection technology is valided by Beijing Supreme People s Court Final Verdict

7 Q: What are the advantage of FibroTouch testing? A: -Only one dynamic probe is needed; -Simultaneously measures liver stiffness and hepatic Steatosis; -Provides more efficient detection and the success rate is high, particularly among obese patients; -Calculation time of single measurement < 1s FibroTouch Wuxi Hisky Medical Technology Co Ltd, Beijing, China; Patent: PCT/CN2010/ Uses controlled low-frequency shear wave to vibrate the liver and tracks the shear wave propagation through the liver tissue by highfrequency signal. Q: Is it validated against liver biopsy, the gold standard?

9 Pateitns studied Jan 2016 and Aug patients (mean age 51, male 60%, mean BMI 24) LSM was measured by both FibroTouch and FibroScan at the same time. Liver biospy was done in selected patients at the clinician discretion. Scoring was performed by at least two independent pathologist (according to Ludwig/CRN/Knodell system).

10 Student t-test, Spearman rank correlation analysis, concordance test and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve were used to compare the readings from both Transient Elastography. In patients with liver biopsy, readings from TE were compared with histological score by ROC. AUROC was used to determine the performance of each TE.
