Exploratory receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analyses assessing diagnostic capabilities of liver stiffness augmentation and pre- and postprandial liver stiffness. ROC analyses show pre- and postprandial liver stiffness data and stiffness augmentation assessing diagnostic capabilities of different quantities for differentiating liver patients with any degree of fibrosis from healthy volunteers with no known liver disease. Both postprandial liver stiffness and augmentation show better prospects for differentiating two groups than preprandial liver stiffness.
