EUS-Guided Shear-Wave-Based Elastography: Current Evidence and the Emerging Role of Two-Dimensional Shear-Wave Elastography [PDF]
DiagnosticsElastography is an ultrasound-based technique that enables the non-invasive assessment of tissue stiffness. In endoscopic ultrasound (EUS), elastography was initially introduced as a strain-based method, providing qualitative or semi-quantitative ...

Ultrasound Shear Wave Elastography in Cardiology [PDF]
JACC: Cardiovascular ImagingThe advent of high-frame rate imaging in ultrasound allowed the development of shear wave elastography as a noninvasive alternative for myocardial stiffness assessment. It measures mechanical waves propagating along the cardiac wall with speeds that are related to stiffness.

Comparison of 2-D Shear Wave Elastography and Point Shear Wave Elastography for Assessing Liver Fibrosis [PDF]
Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology, 2021 Progressive liver fibrosis may result in cirrhosis, portal hypertension and increased risk of hepatocellular carcinoma. We performed a meta-analysis to compare liver fibrosis staging in chronic liver disease patients using 2-D shear wave elastography (2-D SWE) and point shear wave elastography (pSWE).

Plane wave elastography: a frequency-domain ultrasound shear wave elastography approach [PDF]
Physics in Medicine & Biology, 2021 Abstract In this paper, we propose plane wave elastography (PWE), a novel ultrasound shear wave elastography (SWE) approach. Currently, commercial methods for SWE rely on directional filtering based on the prior knowledge of the wave propagation direction, to remove complicated wave patterns formed due to reflection and refraction ...
