Use of shear-wave elastography to distinguish complex and complicated fibroadenomas from simple fibroadenomas [PDF]
PURPOSESimple fibroadenomas (SFAs), complex fibroadenomas (CFAs), and cellular fibroadenomas (CeFAs) are variants of fibroadenomas. Additionally, some degenerative, hyperplastic, and metaplastic changes may occur in fibroadenomas, forming complicated ...

Characterization of soft tissue tumours with ultrasound, shear wave elastography and MRI
OBJECTIVE: To predict accurately whether a soft tissue mass was benign or malignant and to characterize its type using ultrasound, shear wave elastography and MRI. We hypothesized that with the addition of shear wave elastography, it would be possible to

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