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

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 …

Thyroid cancer is one of the most common cancers, with a global increase in incidence rate
for both genders. Ultrasound-guided fine-needle aspiration is the current gold standard to …

Ultrasound elastography (EUS) is a method to assess the mechanical properties of tissue,
by applying stress and detecting tissue displacement using ultrasound. There are several …

Context: Elastography uses ultrasound (US) to assess elasticity. Shear wave elastography
(SWE) is a new technique that estimates tissue stiffness in real time and is quantitative and …

Abstract The World Federation for Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology (WFUMB) has
produced guidelines for the use of elastography techniques including basic science, breast …

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

Purpose To evaluate the diagnostic performance of gray-scale ultrasonography (US) and
elastography in differentiating benign and malignant thyroid nodules. Materials and Methods …

Background: Work-up of thyroid nodules remains challenging. Fine-needle aspiration (FNA)
has been shown to be the most cost-effective way to select patients for surgery with …

Objective To evaluate real-time shear wave ultrasound elastography (SWE) for
characterizing focal thyroid lesions in routine clinical practice. Methods Seventy-four patients …
