elastografisia
Elastography is a medical imaging technique used to determine the stiffness of tissue. It is a non-invasive method that can be used to assess the mechanical properties of organs and lesions. The principle behind elastography is that stiffer tissues deform less than softer tissues when subjected to a force. This force can be applied externally, such as by a transducer, or generated internally by the body, such as by the pulsatile flow of blood.
There are several types of elastography, including shear wave elastography (SWE) and strain elastography. SWE uses
Elastography is commonly used in the assessment of liver fibrosis, where increased stiffness indicates scarring. It
