“METAVIR score Ultrasound” – Pictorial Essay of Anatomy / Ultrasound / Elastography / Histology

The METAVIR score was specifically elaborated and evaluated in chronic hepatitis C, is scoring system for evaluation the inflammatory activity and fibrosis on liver biopsies, although it ultrasound may indicate the fibrosis degree. Objective To present a pictorial essay by composing histological, ultrasound and elastography images of the METAVIR score of fibrosis. Method Using software for image composition, based on the sonographic image of the liver with degrees of fibrosis, secondary to hepatitis C, we adapted the corresponding histological image (METAVIR) and presented a pictorial essay. Results The correlation of the anatomical image with the sonographic image and of the histological image with the corresponding sonographic image and elastography image are demonstrated. Conclusion Ultrasonographic features and elastography in evaluation hepatic fibrosis present in hepatitis C can correlate with histological features METAVIR score.
