Images of human liver sample. a Control. (a-1) Masson trichrome stain: no fibrosis and no steatosis. (a-2) Acoustic impedance image: light yellow area and dark yellow area with a few green part; median acoustic impedance was 1.81 × 106 kg/m2/s. b Simple steatosis. (b-1) Masson trichrome stain: no fibrosis with 40% fat deposition. (b-2) Acoustic impedance image: light yellow area and dark yellow area with a few green part; median acoustic impedance was 1.78 × 106 kg/m2/s. c Nonalcoholic steatohepatitis. (c-1) Masson trichrome stain: advanced fibrosis (F3-4) with 20% fat deposition. (c-2) Acoustic impedance image: dark yellow area and green area are dominant; median acoustic impedance was 1.77 × 106 kg/m2/s
