GE: Portuguese Journal of Gastroenterology, 2016 Background and aims: Since liver fibrosis index (LFI) was developed by Fujimoto et al., real-time elastography (RTE) has become a promising non-invasive technique to assess fibrosis in chronic hepatitis C (CHC). The aims of this study were to compare the

Diagnosis of Thyroid Nodules by Elastography
Journal of Surgical Ultrasound, 2021 Ultrasonography is mandatory for the evaluation of thyroid nodules. Although B-mode and Doppler ultrasonography are both sensitive for the diagnosis of thyroid lesions, they lack specificity in differentiating benign from malignant nodules.

Monitoring trabecular bone microdamage using a dynamic acousto-elastic testing method [PDF]
, 2010 Dynamic acousto-elastic testing (DAET) is based on the coupling of a lowfrequency (LF) acoustic wave and high-frequency ultrasound (US) pulses (probing wave). It was developed to measure US viscoelastic and dissipative non-linearity in trabecular bone.

Acoustic radiation force-based elasticity imaging methods
, 2011 Conventional diagnostic ultrasound images portray differences in the acoustic properties of soft tissues, whereas ultrasound-based elasticity images portray differences in the elastic properties of soft tissues (i.e. stiffness, viscosity). The benefit of
