Objectives The aim of this study was to introduce cervical strain elastography to objectively
assess the cervical tissue transformation process during induction of labour (IOL) and to …

Background The use of cervical strain elastography for nulliparous women during late-term
pregnancy remains unclear. This study assesses the predictive value of late-term cervical …

Purpose: To evaluate the role of quantitative elastography of the cervix in the prediction of
successful labor induction compared to the Bishop score (BS) and ultrasound cervical length …

Objective Induction of labor for medical indications has become a routine practice. To date,
the Bishop score remains as the standard method to predict the duration of induced labor …

Purpose The prediction of successful induction of labor (IOL) has been the subject of a
series of studies. The predictive role of cervical sonographic and elastographic parameters …

Objectives The aim of this study was to evaluate the value of imaging analysis of cervical
elastography to predict successful induction of labor in nulliparous women at term. Methods …

Materials and methods: A systematic search, review, and meta-analysis of observational
studies published in English language between January 2000 and October 2014 was …

Cervical elastography might be an objective method for evaluating cervical ripening during
pregnancy, but its usefulness has not been fully investigated. We examined the significance …

Objective This study aimed to examine whether addition of cervical elastographic
parameters measured by ElastoScan for the cervix (E-cervix) improves the predictive value …

Objective: The aim of the study was to assess the cervical strain pattern by an ultrasound
elastography cervix examination and to determine its association with preterm delivery …
