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

ROLE OF ULTRASOUND ELASTOGRAPHY IN THE ASSESSMENT OF INFLAMMATORY BREAST LESIONS [PDF]
Background: Benign and malignant breast inflammatory conditions must be differentiated from each other as they have different prognosis and management. Ultrasound Elastography can be used in combination with B-mode conventional ultrasound for assessing ...

Elastogram: Physics, Clinical Applications, and Risks
. The tissue stiffness is always an interesting issue to clinicians. Traditionally, it is assessed by the manual palpation, and this now can be measured by the ultrasound-based elastography. The basic physics is based on Young's modulus through the Hooke'

Inflammatory activity affects the accuracy of liver stiffness measurement by transient elastography but not by two-dimensional shear wave elastography in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. [PDF]
BACKGROUND In patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), the impact of the severity of steatosis and inflammatory activity on the accuracy of liver stiffness measurement (LSM) by transient elastography (TE) and by two-dimensional shear ...

Evaluation of liver stiffness measurement–based scores in liver transplantation recipients
Abstract Combining bioclinical parameters with liver stiffness measurement (LSM) has improved the diagnostic performance of vibration‐controlled transient elastography (VCTE) for detection of advanced fibrosis in patients with chronic liver disease. However, this approach has not yet been tested in liver transplantation (LT) recipients.
