Figure Lengend Snippet: Depicting correlation of liver size, liver function tests, blood sugar parameters, and lipid profile with SWE values. Liver size, liver function test, blood sugar, and lipid profile values are presented as mean ± standard deviation. A p-value <0.05 was considered statistically significant in our study. AST: aspartate aminotransferase; ALT: alanine transaminase; GGT: gamma-glutamyl transferase; ALP: alkaline phosphatase; FBS: fasting blood sugar; PPBS: postprandial blood sugar; HDL: high-density lipoprotein; LDL: low-density lipoprotein; VLDL: very-low-density lipoprotein; SWE: shear wave elastography; HbA1c: glycosylated hemoglobin
Article Snippet: A 2D shear wave elastography (2D SWE) was performed using the Philips Affinity 70 Ultrasound System with Philips ElastQ imaging (Koninklijke Philips N.V., Amsterdam, Netherlands).
