Measuring shear-wave speed with point shear-wave elastography and MR elastography: a phantom study [PDF]
BMJ Open, 2017 ObjectivesTo compare shear-wave speed (SWS) measured by ultrasound-based point shear-wave elastography (pSWE) and MR elastography (MRE) on phantoms with a known shear modulus, and to assess method validity and variability.Methods5 homogeneous phantoms of different stiffnesses were made. Shear modulus was measured by a rheometer, and this value was used

Shear-Wave Elastography of Segmental Infarction of the Testis [PDF]
Korean Journal of Radiology, 2012 Segmental testicular infarction (STI) is a rare cause of acute scrotum. The spectrum of findings on gray-scale and color Doppler ultrasonography differ depending on the time between the onset of testicular pain and the ultrasonography examination. We are not aware of the usefulness of shear-wave elastography for the diagnosis of STI.

Future of breast elastography [PDF]
Ultrasonography, 2019 Both strain elastography and shear wave elastography have been shown to have high sensitivity and specificity for characterizing breast lesions as benign or malignant. Training is important for both strain and shear wave elastography.

Viscoelasticity Imaging of Biological Tissues and Single Cells Using Shear Wave Propagation
Frontiers in Physics, 2021 Changes in biomechanical properties of biological soft tissues are often associated with physiological dysfunctions. Since biological soft tissues are hydrated, viscoelasticity is likely suitable to represent its solid-like behavior using elasticity and ...

Comparison of 2-D Shear Wave Elastography and Point Shear Wave Elastography for Assessing Liver Fibrosis [PDF]
Ultrasound in Medicine & 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).

Reproducibility of shear wave elastography (SWE) in patients with chronic liver disease. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2017 The presence of significant fibrosis is an indicator for liver disease staging and prognosis. The aim of the study was to determine reproducibility of real-time shear wave elastography using a hepatic biopsy as the reference standard to identify patients

Evaluation of liver stiffness measurement–based scores in liver transplantation recipients
Liver Transplantation, EarlyView., 2022 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.
