Elastogram: Physics, Clinical Applications, and Risks

open access: yesMaternal-Fetal Medicine, 2019
. 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'
