Quantitative Elastography for Cervical Stiffness Assessment during Pregnancy
AIM Feasibility and reliability of tissue Doppler imaging-(TDI-) based elastography for cervical quantitative stiffness assessment during all three trimesters of pregnancy were evaluated. MATERIALS AND METHODS Prospective case-control study including seventy-four patients collected between the 12th and 42nd weeks of gestation. The tissue strain (TS) was measured by two independent operators a...
متن کاملCervical elastography during pregnancy: clinical perspectives
Uterine cervix is a part of the uterus responsible for maintaining pregnancy till term. As long as the cervix remains long and firm and its internal orifice (os) is closed, it can withstand enlargement of the uterine contents and resultant growing pressure. Mechanical properties of the cervix change during pregnancy; the cervix ripens prior to delivery, then effaces and dilates with contraction...
متن کاملQuantitative Analysis of Enlarged Cervical Lymph Nodes with Ultrasound Elastography.
UNLABELLED PURPSOE: To investigate the diagnostic value of quantitative analysis of a tissue diffusion and virtual touch tissue imaging quantification (VTIQ) technique with acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI) elastography for assessing enlarged cervical lymph nodes. MATERIALS AND METHODS Fifty-six enlarged cervical lymph nodes confirmed by pathologic diagnoses were covered in the study. A...
متن کاملClinical value of real time elastography in patients with unexplained cervical lymphadenopathy: quantitative evaluation.
Ultrasonography is non-invasive and can give useful clues in the diagnosis of cervical lymphadenopathy, However, differential diagnosis is difficult in some situations even combined with color Doppler imaging. The present study was conducted to evaluate the clinical value of real time elastography in patients with unexplained cervical lymphadenopathy using a quantitative method. From May 2011 t...
متن کاملQuantification of cervical elastography: a reproducibility study.
OBJECTIVES To assess a new method for numerical quantification of cervical elastography during pregnancy and to evaluate the repeatability of the measurements. METHODS Cervical elastography was carried out twice by a single operator in 112 singleton pregnancies at a median of 21 (range, 12-40) weeks' gestation. In 50 of the cases a second operator performed another elastography measurement. T...
