[HTML][HTML] A novel, reliable protocol to objectively assess scar stiffness using shear wave elastography
H DeJong, S Abbott, M Zelesco, K Spilsbury… - Ultrasound in Medicine …, 2020 - Elsevier
The aim of this research was to investigate the use of shear wave elastography as a novel
tool to quantify and visualize scar stiffness after a burn. Increased scar stiffness is indicative
of pathologic scarring which is associated with persistent pain, chronic itch and restricted
range of movement. Fifty-five participants with a total of 96 scars and 69 contralateral normal
skin sites were evaluated. A unique protocol was developed to enable imaging of the raised
and uneven burn scars. Intra-rater and inter-rater reliability was excellent (intra-class …
