Intraoperative ultrasonography (ioUS) elastography offers real-time intraoperative
information about tissue stiffness. Rather than solely assessing lesions based on anatomical …

Palpation is the neurosurgeon's most basic instrument and has been used for millennia.
Differences in tissue stiffness and composition have driven the development of most modern …

BACKGROUND: Strain elastography is an intraoperative ultrasound (ioUS) modality
currently under development with various potential applications in neurosurgery …

BACKGROUND Sonoelastography is an ultrasound imaging technique able to assess
mechanical properties of tissues. Strain elastography (SE) is a qualitative sonoelastographic …

Methods: A total of 15 meningiomas in 14 patients underwent MRE before surgery. MRE
data were collected with a spin-echo EPI pulse sequence on a 3T MR imager. Shear waves …

Purpose: Objective Shear wave elastography (SWE) enabled living tissue assessment of
stiffness. This is routinely used for breast, thyroid and liver diseases, but there is currently no …

Ultrasound elastography is a new technique that generates images based on the stiffness of
tissue as opposed to anatomy. Many disease states have changes in stiffness that can be …

Background Ultrasonographic elastography imaging visualizes the elastic properties of
tissues to distinguish pathologic and healthy areas. Real-time elastography measures …

Methods: We conducted an IRB approved investigation of five pituitary adenomas (range, 31–
49 mm; average, 35 mm) and eight vestibular schwannomas (range, 20–38 mm; average …

Elastography is an imaging technology capable of measuring tissue stiffness and
consistency. The technology has achieved widespread use in the workup and management …
