Achilles tendon elasticity decreases with intermittent claudication in patients by Acoustic Radiation Force Impulse Imaging (ARFI).
OBJECTIVE To investigate the value of Acoustic Radiation Force Impulse elastography and its application in Achilles tendon elasticity of intermittent claudication due to lower extremity arterial ischaemia. METHODS This prospective case-control study was conducted at the Department of Radiology, Faculty of Medicine, Baskent University, Istanbul, Turkey, from October 2015 to January 2016, and c...
متن کاملDoes elasticity of Achilles tendon change after suture applications? Evaluation of repair area by acoustic radiation force impulse elastography
BACKGROUND Achilles tendon injuries are one of the most common tendon injuries. Surgical treatment is preferred in young and active patients. Although there are studies which evaluate the repair area with magnetic resonance imaging and ultrasonography after surgical treatment, there are very few studies which analyzes the elasticity of the tendon by quantitative methods. ARFI (acoustic radiatio...
متن کاملElasticity of healthy Achilles tendon decreases with the increase of age as determined by acoustic radiation force impulse imaging.
AIMS The objective of the study was to investigate the value of acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI) and its application in Achilles tendon elasticity of healthy volunteers. METHODS Bilateral Achilles tendons of 56 healthy individuals were included in the study. The subjects were divided into four age groups. Shear wave velocities (SWVs) of each tendon in the states of relaxation and tensi...
متن کاملAssessment of Placental Stiffness Using Acoustic Radiation Force Impulse Elastography in Pregnant Women with Fetal Anomalies
OBJECTIVE We aimed to evaluate placental stiffness measured by acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI) elastography in pregnant women in the second trimester with a normal fetus versus those with structural anomalies and non-structural findings. MATERIALS AND METHODS Forty pregnant women carrying a fetus with structural anomalies diagnosed sonographically at 18-28 weeks of gestation comprised...
متن کاملFactors that influence the correlation of acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI), elastography with liver fibrosis.
AIM To establish the influence of different factors on the correlation between liver stiffness (LS) measurements by ARFI and liver fibrosis, evaluated by liver biopsy (LB). We assessed the following factors: the success rate (SR) and interquartile range (IQR) interval, the place where ARFI was performed, liver steatosis, the quality of the specimen obtained by LB. METHODS We studied 471 patie...
