The AIM of this paper is to establish the values of @entity409 ( @entity409 ) assessed by means of ARFI in @entity1 without known liver pathology and considered healthy subjects. MATERIAL AND METHOD: the study group was composed of 82 subjects without known liver pathology, healthy volunteers or @entity1 from other departments of our hospital who did not have altered liver laboratory tests. 76 @entity1 had ARFI valid measurements (47 @entity1 and 29 @entity1 , mean age 34.5 +/-14.3 years). In each subject abdominal ultrasound was performed ( @entity1 with @entity1560 or any other signs of chronic liver pathology were excluded) as well as ARFI (using Siemens Acuson S2000). The median value of 10 measurements was calculated, expressed in m/s; we considered valid only the measurements with IQR<30%, SR>60%, similar to transient elastography. Mean ARFI values and mean values according to age and gender were evaluated. RESULTS: valid ARFI measurements were obtained in 76/82 @entity1 (92.6%). The mean value of ARFI measurements in normal individuals was 1.15+/-0.21 m/s. There were no significant differences between the mean ARFI values in @entity1 vs. @entity1 (1.16+/-0.21 vs. 1.14+/-0.22m/s, p=0.67), also among different age groups (p>0.05). CONCLUSION: In our study the mean @entity409 value obtained by ARFI in healthy subjects was 1.15 m/s.
