Shear wave elastography with a new reliability indicator [PDF]

Journal of Ultrasonography, 2016
Non-invasive methods for liver stiffness assessment have been introduced over recent years. Of these, two main methods for estimating liver fibrosis using ultrasound elastography have become established in clinical practice: shear wave elastography and ...

Ultrasound Shear Wave Elastography in Cardiology [PDF]

JACC: Cardiovascular Imaging
The 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 Point Shear Wave Elastography and 2-Dimensional Shear Wave Elastography Values of Liver Metastases from Colorectal Cancer

Gastroenterology Insights, 2023
Nowadays ultrasound-based non-invasive techniques for the evaluation of tissue elasticity are becoming increasingly popular. A key determinant for the adequate treatment of focal liver lesions is on establishment of accurate diagnosis.

Natural Shear Wave Elastography: A Promising Tool to Assess Myocardial Stiffness in Fontan Patients. [PDF]

JACC Adv
BackgroundNoninvasive assessment of myocardial properties and hemodynamics in Fontan patients remains challenging. Natural shear wave (SW) elastography is a promising new echocardiographic modality that allows noninvasive assessment of myocardial stiffness using the velocity of naturally occurring SWs detected with high frame rate (HFR) imaging ...

Shear wave elastography as a diagnostic method for bruxism. [PDF]

Medicine (Baltimore)
Background: Bruxism is a common parafunctional activity that may alter the structural and mechanical properties of the masseter muscle. Shear wave elastography (SWE) provides a noninvasive and objective method for evaluating muscle stiffness.

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 ...
