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

This article reports underestimation of mechanical index (MI) and nonscanned thermal index
for bone near focus (TIB) due to hydrophone spatial averaging effects that occur during …

Since ancient times, cervical assessment for predicting timing of delivery has relied primarily
on digital (subjective) assessment of dilatation, softening, and length. To date, transvaginal …

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 …

Preterm birth, defined as delivery at less than 37 weeks' gestation, increases maternal-fetal
morbidity and mortality and places heavy financial and emotional burdens on families and …

Purpose To identify the effects of shear wave elastography in the fetus for evaluation in
widespread use. Materials and methods The Health Risk Assessment method proposed by …

Aim The aim of this study was to compare shear wave cervical elasticity between term and
preterm delivery group. Methods A prospective cohort study was conducted in enrolled 158 …

Objective: The aim of the study was to assess the cervical strain pattern by an ultrasound
elastography cervix examination and to determine its association with preterm delivery …

Objectives The aim of this study was to assess the value of cervical strain elastography and
Cervical Sliding Sign (CSS) for predicting spontaneous preterm birth (sPTB). Methods In our …

Background Short cervical length (CL) has not been shown to be adequate as a single
predictor of spontaneous preterm birth (sPTB) in high-risk pregnancies. Objective The …
