Journal of Clinical Ultrasound, EarlyView.Shear wave elastography demonstrated moderate diagnostic accuracy for detecting congestive liver disease in patients with structural heart disease. Increased liver stiffness was associated with echocardiographic markers of venous congestion, supporting the concept that elastography may serve as a noninvasive marker of cardiohepatic interaction ...

Strain Elastography - How To Do It?
Ultrasound International Open, 2017 Tissue stiffness assessed by palpation for diagnosing pathology has been used for thousands of years. Ultrasound elastography has been developed more recently to display similar information on tissue stiffness as an image.

A new method for shear wave speed estimation in shear wave elastography
IEEE Transactions on Ultrasonics, Ferroelectrics, and Frequency Control, 2015 Visualization of mechanical properties of tissue can aid in noninvasive pathology diagnosis. Shear wave elastography (SWE) measures the elastic properties of soft tissues by estimation of local shear wave propagation speed. In this paper, a new robust method for estimation of shear wave speed is introduced which has the potential for simplifying ...

JPGN Reports, EarlyView.Abstract Hepatitis C virus (HCV) remains a significant global health burden, with vertical transmission being the primary route of infection in children. Direct‐acting antivirals (DAAs) have transformed HCV treatment in pediatrics, but limited data exist on their administration in medically complex children who are dependent on enteral tubes. We report

Validation of shear wave elastography in skeletal muscle [PDF]
Journal of Biomechanics, 2013 Skeletal muscle is a very dynamic tissue, thus accurate quantification of skeletal muscle stiffness throughout its functional range is crucial to improve the physical functioning and independence following pathology. Shear wave elastography (SWE) is an ultrasound-based technique that characterizes tissue mechanical properties based on the propagation ...

Quantifying cervical and axioscapular muscle stiffness using shear wave elastography
, 2019 This study aimed to assess intra-rater (intra-session and inter-day) reliability and influence of side dominance and the scapular resting position on the shear modulus (an index of stiffness) of resting cervical and axioscapular muscles.

Assessing cardiac stiffness using ultrasound shear wave elastography
, 2022 Shear wave elastography offers a new dimension to echocardiography: it measures myocardial stiffness. Therefore, it could provide additional insights into the pathophysiology of cardiac diseases affecting myocardial stiffness and potentially improve ...

Shear Wave Elastography for Characterization of Breast Lesions in Clinical Routine
Journal of Ultrasound in Medicine, EarlyView.Objectives Breast cancer remains a major global health challenge, and conventional B‐mode ultrasound frequently encounters limitations in reliably distinguishing benign from malignant lesions, particularly within intermediate Breast Imaging‐Reporting and Data System (BI‐RADS) categories.
