Supersonic Shear Imaging (SSI) is a real-time and quantitative imaging technique that has
been proved efficient for tissue elasticity investigation. Very little is known about the …

Very little is known about the myometrium's physiology in terms of its elasticity but shear
wave elastography could be an efficient tool to better understand it. This could considerably …

We report here the results of a longitudinal study of cervix stiffness during pregnancy. Thirty
women, ages ranging from 19 to 37 years, were scanned with ultrasound at five time points …

Objective To explore the feasibility of using shear wave speed (SWS) estimates to detect
differences in cervical softening pre‐and post‐ripening in women undergoing induction of …

The quantitative assessment of the cervix is crucial for the estimation of pre-term delivery risk
and the prediction of the success of labor induction. We conducted a cross-sectional study …

Objectives This research aimed to identify biological and technical confounders in the
nonpregnant cervix when applying shear wave elastography with an endovaginal …

This study aims to evaluate the feasibility and clinical interest of shear wave elastography,
by quantitatively estimating the baseline stiffness of the myometrium before and after …

The uterine cervix softens, shortens, and dilates throughout pregnancy in response to
progressive disorganization of its layered collagen microstructure. This process is an …

The aim of this study was to assess the ability of shear wave elasticity imaging (SWEI) to
detect changes in cervical softness between early and late pregnancy. Using a cross …

Objectives To describe the sonoelastographic characteristics of the normal endometrium,
myometrium, and cervix and to assess their variability with age and different menstrual …
