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.

Elastography in the assessment of the Achilles tendon: a systematic review of measurement properties

Journal of Foot and Ankle Research, 2023
Background Managing and rehabilitating Achilles tendinopathy can be difficult, and the results are often unsatisfactory. Currently, clinicians use ultrasonography to diagnose the condition and predict symptom development.

Shear-Wave-Elastography in Neurofibromatosis Type I [PDF]

Diagnostics, 2022
Ultrasound shear wave elastography (SWE) is an increasingly used imaging modality that expands clinical ultrasound by measuring the elasticity of various tissues, such as the altered elasticity of tumors. Peripheral nerve tumors are rare, have been well-characterized by B-mode-ultrasound, but have not yet been investigated with SWE.

Validity of measurement of shear modulus by ultrasound shear wave elastography in human pennate muscle. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Ultrasound shear wave elastography is becoming a valuable tool for measuring mechanical properties of individual muscles. Since ultrasound shear wave elastography measures shear modulus along the principal axis of the probe (i.e., along the transverse ...
