Figure Lengend Snippet: The median value is noted to be 7.41 kPa. The patient had an HbA1c value of 7.9, fasting blood sugar of 201 mg/dL, and postprandial blood sugar of 260 mg/dL. The patient also had elevated cholesterol, triglyceride, and low-density lipoprotein (LDL) values, measuring 204 mg/dL, 189 mg/dL, and 130 mg/dL, respectively. The patient had normal liver function test values. 2D SWE: 2D shear wave elastography; HbA1c: glycosylated hemoglobin

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

Figure Lengend Snippet: Schematic representations of the canine anatomy with indication of the examined soft tissue organs. (A) After placing the dogs in right lateral recumbency, shear wave elastography (SWE) of the submandibular (a), retropharyngeal (b), axillary (c), inguinal (d) and medial iliac (e) lymph nodes, submandibular salivary gland (M), thyroid (T), spleen (S), left liver lobe (LL), and left kidney (LK) was performed in the left side for each dog, while maintaining the vertical angle of the probe to the organ. (B) With the dog positioned in left lateral recumbency, SWE of the pancreas (P), right liver lobe (RL), and right kidney (RK) were performed. (C) SWE in the prostate (*) was conducted in the right and left lobes in the transverse images with the dog in dorsal recumbency.

Figure Lengend Snippet: Shear wave elastography in the liver (A) and submandibular lymph node (B) . A dual-screen mode shows a color map on the left side and propagation map on the right of the view (rectangular boxes). On color maps, red color represents high shear wave velocity and blue low velocity. Propagation maps show multiple contour line depicting shear wave arrival time at different location. (A) In the liver, circular regions of interest (ROIs) with 3 mm diameter are placed over the region where uniform blue color on color map and parallel contour lines with constant interval on propagation map are observed. Care was taken not to place ROI over the region (arrow) displayed as green color in the color map and distorted contour line in the propagation map. (B) In the submandibular lymph node, a 2 mm diameter ROI not to exceed the target organ is used.
