Shear Wave Elastography for Detection of Prostate Cancer: A Preliminary Study
OBJECTIVE To assess the diagnostic value of shear wave elastography (SWE) for prostate cancer detection. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this retrospective study, 87 patients with the suspicion of prostate cancer (prostate-specific antigen > 4 ng/mL and abnormal digital rectal examination) underwent a protocol-based systematic 12-core biopsy followed by targeted biopsy at hypoechoic areas on grey-sc...
متن کاملTissue mimicking materials for the detection of prostate cancer using shear wave elastography: a validation study.
PURPOSE Quantification of stiffness changes may provide important diagnostic information and aid in the early detection of cancers. Shear wave elastography is an imaging technique that assesses tissue stiffness using acoustic radiation force as an alternate to manual palpation reported previously with quasistatic elastography. In this study, the elastic properties of tissue mimicking materials,...
متن کاملProstate MRE at 3T: Trans-perineal wave propagation
Introduction There has been a great interest in applying Magnetic Resonance Elastography (MRE) to quantify the visco-elastic properties of the prostate in-vivo, with the goal of imaging prostate cancer. Current MRE methods [1-3] have limitations with acquiring high-SNR motion encoded MR-signals at 1.5T, and inducing shear waves of sufficient amplitude into the prostate reliably and in a patient...
متن کاملShear wave induced resonance elastography of spherical masses with polarized torsional waves.
Shear Wave Induced Resonance (SWIR) is a technique for dynamic ultrasound elastography of confined mechanical inclusions. It was developed for breast tumor imaging and tissue characterization. This method relies on the polarization of torsional shear waves modeled with the Helmholtz equation in spherical coordinates. To validate modeling, an in vitro set-up was used to measure and image the fir...
متن کاملNew aspects in shear-wave elastography of prostate cancer
AIM This study was designed to evaluate the performance of shear-wave elastography as a diagnostic tool for prostate cancer in a larger cohort of patients than previously reported. PATIENTS AND METHODS Seventy-three patients with suspected prostate carcinoma were investigated by ultrasound elastography followed by directed biopsy. The elastographic and histological results for all biopsies we...
