Objectives The purpose of this study was to determine whether real‐time elastography can
differentiate gallbladder carcinoma from benign gallbladder wall thickening. Methods …

Objective To study the utility of 2D shear wave elastography (SWE) and ascertain cut‐off
values of shear wave elasticity (SWe) to differentiate benign and malignant thickening of the …

Aims: Gallbladder polyps often have a benign nature. Current guidelines suggest surgical
removal of polyps greater than 10 mm. However, the accuracy of the size criteria is limited …

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the tissue stiffness of solid pancreatic lesions
by using acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI) elastography to differentiate benign from …

Objectives Acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI) technology represents an innovative
method for the quantification of tissue elasticity. The aims of this study were to evaluate …

This study was designed to investigate the potential usefulness of acoustic radiation force
impulse (ARFI) elastography to evaluate focal solid hepatic lesions. In total, 51 patients with …

Over the last two decades, the field of ultrasound elastography has offered several
noninvasive techniques to measure elasticity of various tissues with the aim of producing a …

Diseases associated with gallbladder wall thickening include benign entities such as
adenomyomatosis of the gallbladder, acute and chronic cholecystitis, and hyperplasia …

Ultrasound elastography is a relatively new diagnostic technique for measuring tissue
elasticity (hardness). This review describes the types and evaluation methods of …

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 …
