Objective: Real‐time tissue elastography (RTE) has made it possible to visualize tissue
elasticity. The aim of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of RTE for the differential …

Background Real-time tissue elastography is an innovative tool that informs the surgeon
about tissue elasticity by applying the principle of ultrasonography. The aim of this study was …

The objective of this paper was to evaluate the overall accuracy of elastography in the
diagnosis of benign and malignant liver lesions by liver biopsy as the gold standard …

Real time elastography has very good results in differentiating tumors of the breast, thyroid,
prostate, pancreas and lymph nodes. Because liver biopsy is invasive and has …

Objectives This study was designed to determine the utility of semiquantitative strain
elastography in differential diagnosis of solid liver masses. Methods A total of 103 patients …

BACKGROUND: Freehand real-time elastography (RTE) has seldom been used to visualize
abdominal organs due to their complicated structure and difficulty in freehand compression …

Background and aims Transient elastography is a novel noninvasive method to assess liver
fibrosis by measuring liver stiffness. This study is a first step toward the provision of a …

Elastographic techniques are new ultrasound-based imaging techniques developed to
estimate tissue deformability/stiffness. Several ultrasound elastographic approaches have …

The study was designed to evaluate the role of real-time elastography in differentiating
metastatic from nonmetastatic liver nodules, which include various benign lesions …

Purpose To investigate the use of stiffness value and stiffness ratio (ratio of lesion to
background liver parenchyma values) to discriminate malignant from benign focal liver …
