Practice guideline for the performance of breast ultrasound elastography [PDF]

open access: yesUltrasonography, 2014
<p>Ultrasound (US) elastography is a valuable imaging technique for tissue characterization. Two main types of elastography, strain and shear-wave, are commonly used to image breast tissue.

Deep Learning for High Speed Optical Coherence Elastography

open access: yes, 2020
Mechanical properties of tissue provide valuable information for identifying lesions. One approach to obtain quantitative estimates of elastic properties is shear wave elastography with optical coherence elastography (OCE).

Future of breast elastography [PDF]

open access: yesUltrasonography, 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.

Elastographic presentation of medullary thyroid carcinoma [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Aim of the study was to evaluate the elastographic appearance of medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) by a retrospective evaluation of 18 nodules histologically proven as MTC. Free-hand qualitative elastography was performed using Hitachi Logos EUB 7500.

Influence of wall thickness and diameter on arterial shear wave elastography: a phantom and finite element study [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Quantitative, non-invasive and local measurements of arterial mechanical properties could be highly beneficial for early diagnosis of cardiovascular disease and follow up of treatment.

Intravascular Elastography:

open access: yesJournal of Interventional Cardiology, 2003
An unstable lesion may rupture and cause an acute thrombotic reaction. These lesions contain a large lipid pool covered by a thin fibrous cap. The stress in the cap increased with decreasing thickness and increasing macrophage infiltration. Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) elastography might be an ideal technique to assess the presence of lipid pools ...

Cost-effectiveness of non-invasive methods for assessment and monitoring of liver fibrosis and cirrhosis in patients with chronic liver disease: systematic review and economic evaluation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
BACKGROUND: Liver biopsy is the reference standard for diagnosing the extent of fibrosis in chronic liver disease; however, it is invasive, with the potential for serious complications.

What we need to know when performing and interpreting US elastography [PDF]

open access: yesClinical and Molecular Hepatology, 2016
According to the increasing need for accurate staging of hepatic fibrosis, the ultrasound (US) elastography techniques have evolved significantly over the past two decades. Currently, US elastography is increasingly used in clinical practice.

Does shear wave ultrasound independently predict axillary lymph node metastasis in women with invasive breast cancer? [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Shear wave elastography (SWE) shows promise as an adjunct to greyscale ultrasound examination in assessing breast masses. In breast cancer, higher lesion stiffness on SWE has been shown to be associated with features of poor prognosis.

Interobserver agreement of Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data System (TIRADS) and strain elastography for the assessment of thyroid nodules [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Background: Thyroid Imaging Reporting and Data System (TIRADS) was developed to improve patient management and cost-effectiveness by avoiding unnecessary fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) in patients with thyroid nodules.
