Transient elastography

Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, 2010
AbstractIn clinical practice, it is important to assess the severity of liver fibrosis in patients with various liver diseases to determine the prognosis, decide treatment, and monitor disease progression and response to treatment. Liver biopsy is limited by its invasiveness and patient acceptability.

Deep learning in ultrasound elastography imaging: A review.

Medical Physics (Lancaster), 2022
It is known that changes in the mechanical properties of tissues are associated with the onset and progression of certain diseases. Ultrasound elastography is a technique to characterize tissue stiffness using ultrasound imaging either by measuring ...

Comparison of Strain and Shear Wave Elastography in Prostate Cancer Detection.

Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology, 2022
The aim of the study was to compare strain elastography with shear wave elastography in prostate cancer detection by comparing data gained during elastography with histological analysis after prostatectomy.

Elastography: A systems approach

International Journal of Imaging Systems and Technology, 1997
We present a review of elastography from a systems point of view. We show that elastography can be viewed as a cascade of two distinct processes. The first process involves the mapping of the distribution of local elastic moduli in the target into a distribution of local longitudinal strains.

Advances in imaging—Elastography

Hepatology
Chronic liver disease affects over a billion people worldwide. Liver fibrosis is the key driver of liver-related complications and mortality. Elastography has been a transformative tool in hepatology, allowing for the diagnosis and staging of liver fibrosis noninvasively, and is evolving beyond these purposes into a prognostication tool.

Elastography

European Journal of Cardiovascular Prevention & Rehabilitation, 2002
Intravascular ultrasound elastography is a method for measuring the local elastic properties of coronary atherosclerotic plaques using intravascular ultrasound (IVUS). Mechanical properties of the different tissues within a plaque are measured through strain.

Diffusion-weighted MRI-based Virtual Elastography for the Assessment of Liver Fibrosis.

Radiology, 2020
Background Diffusion-weighted (DW) MRI-based elastography has recently been proposed for noninvasive liver fibrosis staging but requires evaluation in a larger number of patients.

[Transient elastography].

Recenti progressi in medicina, 2009
Transient elastography (TE, Fibroscan) is a recent, rapid and highly reproducible technique for measuring liver tissue stiffness. Several studies in patients with chronic liver disease evidenced that it accurately predicts the degree of hepatic fibrosis and that it is particularly accurate in identifying severe fibrosis and cirrhosis.

Elastography

TUS elastography is an emerging technique that complements conventional thoracic imaging by enabling non-invasive assessment of tissue stiffness. This chapter outlines the principle and modalities of elastography, including strain, shear wave and surface wave elastography, while reviewing their applicability to pleural, pulmonary and chest wall disease.
