Photoacoustic elastography [PDF]
Optics Letters, 2016 Elastography can noninvasively map the elasticity distribution in biological tissue, which can potentially be used to reveal disease conditions. In this Letter, we have demonstrated photoacoustic elastography by using a linear-array photoacoustic computed tomography system. The feasibility of photoacoustic elastography was first demonstrated by imaging

Future of breast elastography [PDF]
Ultrasonography, 2019 Both strain elastography and shear wave elastography have been shown to have high sensitivity and specificity for characterizing breast lesions as benign or malignant. Training is important for both strain and shear wave elastography.

Ultrasound elastography for thyroid nodules: recent advances [PDF]
Ultrasonography, 2014 Ultrasonography (US)-based elastography has been introduced as a noninvasive technique for evaluating thyroid nodules that encompasses a variety of approaches such as supersonic shear imaging and acoustic radiation force impulse imaging as well as real ...

European Journal of Radiology, 2014 Elastography has recently been presented in clinical studies as a new technique applied to US imaging. The challenge of this new technique is to distinguish different tissues on the basis of their specific consistency. Since malignant tumors tend to be harder than benign lesions and parenchyma, this new approach could result clinically relevant ...

Virtual elastography ultrasound via generative adversarial network for breast cancer diagnosis
Nature Communications, 2023 Elastography ultrasound (EUS) imaging is a vital ultrasound imaging modality. The current use of EUS faces many challenges, such as vulnerability to subjective manipulation, echo signal attenuation, and unknown risks of elastic pressure in certain ...

Elastography in Hepatology [PDF]
Canadian Journal of Gastroenterology, 2007 A common characteristic of all chronic liver diseases is the occurrence and progression of fibrosis toward cirrhosis. Consequently, liver fibrosis assessment plays an important role in hepatology. Besides its importance for prognosis, determining the level of fibrosis reveals the natural history of the disease and the risk factors associated with its ...
