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

Abstract Background and Aims Ultrasound elastography [USE] is an innovative, non-
invasive, promptly available, ancillary technique that has been proposed in the evaluation of …

This manuscript describes the use of ultrasound elastography, with the exception of liver
applications, and represents an update of the 2013 EFSUMB (European Federation of …

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 …

One modern imaging technique used in the diagnosis of Crohn's disease (CD) is
sonoelastrography of the intestine. Guidelines regarding the use of bowel sonoelastography …

The aim of this pilot study was to assess prospectively the feasibility of conventional B-mode
ultrasound (US) and contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) combined with real-time strain …

Technological improvements and growing sonographers' expertise boost the role of
intestinal ultrasound (IUS) in assessing patients with inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) …

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 …

Purpose The distinction between active inflammation and fibrosis of the bowel wall is
essential for therapeutic decisions in stricturing Crohn's disease. We aimed to assess …

Aim Strain elastography is a novel approach to rectal tumour evaluation. The primary aim of
this study was to correlate elastography to pT stages of rectal tumours and to assess the …
