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 …

From times immemorial manual palpation served as a source of information on the state of
soft tissues and allowed detection of various diseases accompanied by changes in tissue …

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 …

The characterization of skin mechanics has many clinical implications and has been an
active area of research for the past few decades. Biomechanical models have evolved from …

Objective To summarize the published evidence in the literature on the role of ultrasound
and elastography to assess skin involvement in systemic sclerosis (SSc). Methods A …
