2D-shear wave elastography: number of acquisitions can be reduced according to clinical setting
Insights into Imaging, 2021 Background The factors affecting intra-operator variability of two-dimensional shear wave elastography (2D-SWE) have not been clearly established. We evaluated 2D-SWE variability according to the number of measurements, clinical and laboratory features ...
