elasztográfiát
Elasztográfia is a medical imaging technique used to assess the mechanical properties of tissues, particularly their stiffness or elasticity. It works by measuring the tissue's response to applied stress or strain. In essence, it visualizes how much a tissue deforms when a force is applied to it, or how much force is needed to achieve a certain deformation. This information is valuable because changes in tissue stiffness are often indicative of disease. For instance, cancerous tumors are typically much harder than the surrounding healthy tissue.
There are several types of elastography, with ultrasound elastography and magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) being the
Elastography has found applications in various medical fields, including the diagnosis and staging of liver fibrosis,
