A force‐measuring device combined with ultrasound‐based elastography for assessment of the uterine cervix

Acta Obstetricia et Gynecologica Scandinavica, 2022
Introduction In this feasibility study, we hypothesize that the evaluation of cervical biomechanical strength can be improved if cervical length measurement is supplemented with quantitative elastography, which is a technique based on conventional ...
