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

Real-time elastography (RTE) performed during endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) is a relatively
new technique which allows the evaluation of tissue stiffness, with the intent of better …

The clinical part of these Guidelines and Recommendations produced under the auspices of
the European Federation of Societies for Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology EFSUMB …

Background Glioblastomas are highly resistant to therapy, and virtually all patients
experience tumor recurrence after standard-of-care treatment. Surgical tumor resection is a …

This article represents part 3 of the EFSUMB Recommendations and Guidelines for
Gastrointestinal Ultrasound (GIUS). It provides an overview of the examination techniques …

Identifying the precise topography of cancer for targeted biopsy in colonoscopic examination
is a challenge in current diagnostic practice. For the first time we demonstrate the use of …

Aim Transanal endoscopic microsurgery (TEM) for early rectal cancer (ERC) gives results
similar to major surgery in selected cases. Endorectal ultrasound (ERUS) is an important …

Background: Rectal tumor treatment strategies are individually tailored based on tumor
stage, and yield different rates of posttreatment morbidity, mortality, and local recurrence …

OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this study was to assess the diagnostic accuracy of strain and
shear-wave elastography for determining targets of varying stiffness in a phantom. The effect …

Aim Strain elastography is a method for recording tissue hardness. Strain in different areas
may be compared using strain ratio (SR). The aims of this study were to validate a previously …
