Elastogram: Physics, Clinical Applications, and Risks

Maternal-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'

An investigation of the functional significance of the pyramidalis muscle using shear wave elastography. [PDF]

J Anat
The pyramidalis (Py) is a small triangular‐shaped anterior abdominal wall muscle, the function of which remains uncertain. We used shear wave elastography to test the hypothesis that Py contributes to stiffness of the linea alba. Our results indicate that Py contraction results in a significant increase in LA stiffness, supporting the previously ...

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.

Shear wave elastography in assessment of liver stiffness and prediction of gastro-esophageal varices in patients with liver cirrhosis

The Egyptian Journal of Radiology and Nuclear Medicine, 2019
Background Shear wave elastography is an ultrasound applied technique used to measure tissue stiffness as a result of a disease. So, it can be used to evaluate liver stiffness as a result of liver cirrhosis and could correlate it with esophageal varices.
