Abstract Changes in tissue stiffness by physiological or pathological factors in tissue
structure are identified earlier than their clinical features. Pathological processes such as …

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

Background Accurate identification of the women who will have spontaneous preterm birth
continues to be a great challenge. The use of cervical elastography for prediction of preterm …

Objective To provide a standardized protocol for the measurement of cervical strain
elastography, present its reproducibility, and analyze baseline clinical factors affecting the …

Abstract Objective E-Cervix™(WS80A; Samsung, Seoul, Korea) elastography is a recent
quantification tool to measure the stiffness of the cervix using strain elastography. The aim of …

The goal of this study was to explore the value of shear wave elastography (SWE) combined
with cervical length (CL) in the prediction of spontaneous preterm birth (sPTB) between 18 …

Objective This study aimed to examine whether addition of cervical elastographic
parameters measured by ElastoScan for the cervix (E-cervix) improves the predictive value …

Strain elastography of the uterine cervix may be useful in the diagnosis and prediction of
obstetric complications. The inability to obtain quantitative results, with only the possibility of …

Diagnostic ultrasound (DUS) is, arguably, the most common technique used in obstetrical
practice. From A mode, first described by Ian Donald for gynecology in the late 1950s, to B …

Background Spontaneous preterm birth occurs more frequently in multiple pregnancies. This
syndrome has multiple triggers that result in a unified downstream pathway of cervical …
