Tissue stiffness assessed by palpation for diagnosing pathology has been used for
thousands of years. Ultrasound elastography has been developed more recently to display …

Elastography is a relatively new imaging technology that creates images of tissue stiffness. It
can be thought of an extension of the ancient technique of palpation but it gives better …

Tissue stiffness has long been known to be a biomarker of tissue pathology. Ultrasound
elastography measures tissue mechanical properties by monitoring the response of tissue to …

For centuries tissue palpation has been an important diagnostic tool. During palpation,
tumors are felt as tissues harder than the surrounding tissues. The significance of palpation …

Elastography-based imaging techniques have received substantial attention in recent years
for non-invasive assessment of tissue mechanical properties. These techniques take …

Ultrasound elastography is an emerging set of imaging modalities used to image tissue
elasticity and are often referred to as virtual palpation. These techniques have proven …

Elastography has emerged as a useful adjunct tool for ultrasound diagnosis. Elastograms
are images of tissue stiffness and may be in color, grayscale, or a combination of the two …

Several different platforms providing ultrasound elastography have emerged in recent years.
In this in vitro study on a single tissue-mimicking phantom (CIRS Model 49), we aimed to …

Physicians have used palpation as a diagnostic examination to understand the elastic
properties of pathology for a long time since they realized that tissue stiffness is closely …

Ten years have passed since the first commercial equipment for elastography was released;
since then clinical utility has been demonstrated. Nowadays, most manufacturers offer an …
