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

Menstrual pain is consequent to intense uterine contraction aimed to expel menstrual flow
through downstream uterine cervix. Herein it was evaluated whether characteristics of …

The aim of the study was to investigate if there are changes in elastographic parameters in
the cervix at term around the time of delivery and if there are differences in the parameters …

Strain elastography allows the evaluation of tissue elasticity. Background/Objectives: Tissue
elasticity depends on the content and distribution of collagen fibers and is shaped by the …

Objectives To explore the role of newly developed software to assess cervical
sonoelastography in predicting the onset of spontaneous delivery in singleton pregnancies …

Introduction: This review provides an overview of the current and potential clinical
applications of sonoelastography, and describes the central principles that provide clinical …

Preterm birth (PTB) is the leading cause of neonatal morbidity and mortality worldwide. The
ability to predict patients at risk for preterm birth remains a major health challenge. The …

Aims: To assess the usefulness of real time elastography (RTE) strain ratio (SR) in
diagnosing cervical cancer (CC) and cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN), using a …

The tissue stiffness is always an interesting issue to clinicians. Traditionally, it is assessed by
the manual palpation, and this now can be measured by the ultrasound-based elastography …

Background: Premature cervical softening and shortening may be considered an early
mechanical failure that predispose to preterm birth. Purpose: This study aims to explore the …
