The confidence map generated during the stiffness calculation was used to select a region of reliable wave propagation. The average stiffness within the automatically generated region of interest (ROI) was compared to measurements by two trained readers in a set of 88 clinical test cases ranging from healthy to severely fibrotic.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>The stiffness measurements reported by the readers differed by \u22126.76% \u00b1 22.8% (95% confidence) and had an intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) of 0.972 (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.05).
