Comparison of Tissue Stiffness Using Shear Wave Elastography in Men with Normal Testicular Tissue, Testicular Microlithiasis and Testicular Cancer
Objectives To compare elastography measurements in men with normal testicular tissue, testicular microlithiasis and testicular cancer. Methods A total of 248 consecutive patients were included. All men provided written informed consent. Testicular stiffness was assessed using shear wave elastography (SWE). Three SWE velocity measurements were assessed in each testicle. The patients were divid...
متن کاملUtility of Real-Time Shear Wave Elastography in the Assessment of Testicular Torsion
Real-time shear-wave elastography (SWE) is a newly developed method which can obtain the stiffness of tissues and organs based on tracking of shear wave propagation through a structure. Several studies have demonstrated its potential in the differentiation between diseased and normal tissue in clinical practices, however the applicability to testicular disease has not been well elucidated. We i...
متن کاملShear wave elastography (SWE) is reliable method for testicular spermatogenesis evaluation after torsion.
This study aims to investigate effect of torsion on testicular stiffness alteration in affected and concomitant testis using improved ultrasound method of shear wave elastography (SWE). We compared the morphology of the testicular spermatogenesis assessed with Johansen's scale on histology specimens with a mean stiffness measured by SWE. A total of 18 New Zealand white male rabbits were divided...
متن کاملPhotoacoustic elastography.
Elastography can noninvasively map the elasticity distribution in biological tissue, which can potentially be used to reveal disease conditions. In this Letter, we have demonstrated photoacoustic elastography by using a linear-array photoacoustic computed tomography system. The feasibility of photoacoustic elastography was first demonstrated by imaging the strains of single-layer and bilayer ge...
متن کاملShearWaveTM Elastography
2 One of the key medical methods for detection and characterization of pathologies is the assessment of tissue stiffness by palpation. The importance of clinical assessment of tissue stiffness has been known since ancient times: In Pharonic Egypt, more than 5000 years ago, physicians practiced palpation of body parts to determine tissue stiffness. They knew that a hard mass within an organ was ...
