Purpose To explore the feasibility of transient elastography (TE) to quantify cervical stiffness
changes during normal pregnancy and its spatial variability. Materials and Methods TE was …

Objectives To assess a new method for numerical quantification of cervical elastography
during pregnancy and to evaluate the repeatability of the measurements. Methods Cervical …

Purpose: To evaluate the reliability of cervical elastography as a new ultrasound tool for
cervical stiffness assessment in pregnancy. Materials and Methods: Pilot prospective cohort …

In normal pregnancy, the cervix functions as a protective mechanical barrier that must
remain tight and closed. Premature remodeling and consecutive shortening occur in many …

Purpose To assess cervical elasticity in different regions by sonoelastography, to compare
the results to the Bishop score, cervical length, week of pregnancy and other maternal …

The cervix is a cylindrical structure that is proximally connected to the uterus and distally to
the vaginal cavity. The Bishop score has been used to evaluate the cervix during pregnancy …

Objectives The aim of this study was to determine whether cervical elastographic
parameters in addition to cervical length (CL) during the 3 trimesters of pregnancy would be …

Aim The aim of this study was to evaluate the usefulness of shear‐wave elastography (SWE)
for measuring change in cervical stiffness during pregnancy, with regions of interest (ROI) …

Objective To evaluate cervical stiffness during pregnancy using ultrasound‐derived
elastography, a method used to estimate the average tissue displacement (strain) within a …

Purpose To evaluate cervical elastography strain pattern as a predictive marker for
spontaneous preterm delivery (SPTD). Materials and Methods In this case-control study …
