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

, 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.

Intravascular Ultrasound Elastography

Ultraschall in der Medizin, 2008
Intravascular Ultrasound Blastography. The response of a tissue to mechanical excitation is a function of its mechanical properties. Excitation can be dynamic or quasistatic in nature. The response (e.g. displacement, velocity, compression) can be measured via ultrasound.

Assessment of liver fibrosis and associated risk factors in HIV-infected individuals using transient elastography and serum biomarkers

, 2012
Background: Liver fibrosis in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected individuals is mostly attributable to co-infection with hepatitis B or C. The impact of other risk factors, including prolonged exposure to combined antiretroviral therapy (cART ...

Intravascular Elastography:

Journal 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 ...

Artificial Intelligence in Systemic Sclerosis: Clinical Applications, Challenges, and Future Directions

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a rare autoimmune disease defined by immune dysregulation, vasculopathy, and progressive fibrosis of the skin and internal organs. Despite advances in care, major complications such as interstitial lung disease (ILD) and myocardial involvement remain the leading causes of morbidity and mortality.

Evaluation of Liver Fibrosis and Inflammation Using Ultrasound Elastography [PDF]

Advanced Ultrasound in Diagnosis and Therapy, 2020
There are two ultrasound elastography methods currently available for evaluating liver fibrosis: Strain Imaging and Shear Wave Elastography. Strain imaging can estimate the degree of liver fibrosis without the influence of inflammation whilst the Shear ...
