elastográfia
Elastography is a medical imaging technique that measures the stiffness or elasticity of tissue. It uses ultrasound or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to produce images that represent the mechanical properties of tissues. During elastography, the patient is typically exposed to a small amount of pressure or stress, which causes the tissue to deform. The deformation is then measured and used to calculate the tissue's elasticity.
There are two main types of elastography: static and dynamic. Static elastography involves applying a constant
Elastography is primarily used in the diagnosis of breast cancer. It has been shown to have a
Elastography has also been used in the examination of liver disease, glioma, and soft tissue tumors. In
The advantages of elastography include its non-invasive nature, low cost, and real-time imaging. Additionally, elastography can
