6.6.7. Stiffness results area
Median
Stiffness is expressed in kilopascal (kPa). This value is the median of all valid measurements
performed during the examination.
If the repeat measurement is invalid, the median is not recalculated. To obtain a reliable and
representative liver stiffness measurement, at least 10 valid measurements must be taken.
个 Refer to the warning in Chapter 2 concerning interpretation of the result.
Interquartile range (IQR)
The interquartile range (IQR) is expressed in kilopascal (kPa). It represents the interval
around the median within which will fall 50% of all valid measurements. It is recalculated after
each new valid measurement.
IQR/Median
This value, expressed as a percentage, is the ratio of the IQR to the median stiffness. It is
recalculated after each new valid measurement.
