AIMS Sonoelastography (SEG) is a noninvasive ultrasound (US) method able to differentiate tissues according to their stiffness. Our objective was to establish whether transrectal (TR) SEG may improve prostate cancer detection, alone or associated with other US methods. PATIENTS AND METHODS We analyzed the data of 65 patients, mean age 68 years (49 - 81 years), examined March 2009-September 20...

Ultrasound is an essential modality within musculoskeletal imaging, with the recent addition of elastography. The elastic properties of tissues are different from the acoustic impedance used to create B mode imaging and the flow properties used within Doppler imaging, hence elastography provides a different form of tissue assessment. The current role of ultrasound elastography in the musculoske...

The crawling wave experiment was developed to capture a shear wave induced moving interference pattern that is created by two harmonic vibration sources oscillating at different but almost the same frequencies. Using the vibration sonoelastography technique, the spectral variance image reveals a moving interference pattern. It has been shown that the speed of the moving interference pattern, i....

Numery 51 oraz 52 (vol. 12 i 13) „Journal of Ultrasonography” zawierają dwa niezwykle ważne artykuły dotyczące roli elastografii w diagnostyce ultrasonograficznej (USG) piersi oraz statystyczne studium porównawcze wcześniejszych publikacji na ten temat(1,2). Ponieważ dwuczęściowa, wyjątkowa praca Dr Katarzyny Dobruch-Sobczak dotyczy organu, o którym wciąż mało wiemy – piersi oraz zupełnie nowej...
