Mean SWV of the mass (m/sec)	2.4±1.1 (0.9–3.7)	3.3±1.0 (1.3–4.8)	0.101
Parenchymal mean SWV (m/sec)	2.11±0.8 (1.2–3.4)	1.55±0.6 (0.9–3.8)	0.121
Mean SWV difference valuea) (m/sec)	0.4±0.3 (0.1–1.6)	1.5±0.8 (0.3–3.4)	0.011

SWV, shear wave velocity.

^a)Mean SWV difference value (m/sec)=mean SWV of the mass (m/sec)-parenchymal mean SWV (m/sec).
