From times immemorial manual palpation served as a source of information on the state of
soft tissues and allowed detection of various diseases accompanied by changes in tissue …

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the most common primary liver cancer. Imaging is
important for establishing a diagnosis of HCC. Several imaging modalities including …

Ultrasound elastography is an emerging set of imaging modalities used to image tissue
elasticity and are often referred to as virtual palpation. These techniques have proven …

Objective To comparatively evaluate shear wave elastography (SWE) and real-time
elastography (RTE) in distinguishing malignant from benign thyroid nodules. Methods 49 …

OBJECTIVE: This study was to assess the diagnostic value of strain index (SI) for transrectal
real-time tissue elastography (TRTE) on differentiating malignant from benign lesions in the …

Purpose To investigate the use of stiffness value and stiffness ratio (ratio of lesion to
background liver parenchyma values) to discriminate malignant from benign focal liver …

Introduction: Real time-sonoelastography (RTE) is a new developed technique that reveals
the physical properties of the tissue by characterizing the difference in hardness between …

AIM: To evaluate the potential usefulness of acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI) images
for evaluation of hepatocellular carcinomas (HCC)-associated radiofrequency ablation …

Background Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) elastography can assess the hardness of tissue
by measuring its elasticity. Few data have been published on EUS elastography for lymph …

Although its clinical utility remains under investigation, sonoelastography has demonstrated
potential for use as an adjunct diagnostic tool in musculoskeletal medicine …
