Ultrasound elastography is a modern imaging technique that has developed rapidly in
recent years. It enables objective measurement of tissue stiffness, a physical property …

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 …

A reliable diagnostic tool for the early identification of cervical insufficiency would be highly
desirable. Numerous studies have demonstrated that the length of the cervix decreases …

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

Uterine cervix is a part of the uterus responsible for maintaining pregnancy till term. As long
as the cervix remains long and firm and its internal orifice (os) is closed, it can withstand …

The introduction of cervical elastography in obstetrics provides a very interesting perspective
for an improved explanation of the dynamics of cervical ripening and parturition1. Recently …

Objectives To perform a preliminary investigation into the use of elastography for cervical
assessment, in order to determine the effectiveness of this method for the evaluation of …

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) …

The aim of the study was to investigate the use of elastography for cervical cancer
diagnostics. Materials and Methods: The ultrasonic study with use of sonoelastography …
