Usefulness of strain elastography of the musculoskeletal system
Ultrasound elastography is a widely used technique for assessing the mechanical characteristics of tissues. Although there are several ultrasound elastography techniques, strain elastography (SE) is currently the most widely used technique for visualizing an elastographic map in real time. Among its various indications, SE is especially useful in evaluating the musculoskeletal system. In this a...
متن کاملEndobronchial ultrasound elastography strain ratio for mediastinal lymph node diagnosis
BACKGROUND Ultrasound elastography is an imaging procedure that can assess the biomechanical characteristics of different tissues. The aim of this study was to define the diagnostic value of the endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) elastography strain ratio of mediastinal lymph nodes in patients with a suspicion of lung cancer. The diagnostic values of the strain ratios were compared with the EBUS b...
متن کاملThe evaluation of the retrobulbar orbital fat tissue and optic nerve with strain ratio elastography.
AIM The aim of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic performance of strain ratio elastography in the assessment of retrobulbar orbital fat tissue. MATERIALS AND METHODS The retrobulbar fat tissue of 14 eyes in 14 participants was scanned by sonoelastography. All the participants had permanent vision loss secondary to glaucoma in at least one eye. The elasticity scores were determined and ...
متن کاملA zero-crossing strain estimator for elastography.
A novel zero-crossing tracking strain estimator (ZCT) has been developed for elastography. This technique is based on tracking the zero-crossings between the pre- and postcompression A-lines, and does not require global or adaptive A-line stretching. For multicompression elastography, ZCT can be implemented as a tracking scheme, where a temporal track of the zero-crossings between successive ra...
متن کاملSignal-to-noise ratio, contrast-to-noise ratio and their trade-offs with resolution in axial-shear strain elastography.
In axial-shear strain elastography, the local axial-shear strain resulting from the application of quasi-static axial compression to an inhomogeneous material is imaged. In this paper, we investigated the image quality of the axial-shear strain estimates in terms of the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR(asse)) and contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR(asse)) using simulations and experiments. Specifically, we ...
