Evaluation of the diagnostic function of shear wave elastography in the differentiation of malignant and benign breast masses and its relationship with histological factors
Background: Shear wave elastography (SWE) estimates the stiffness of a mass based on the velocity of shear wave propagation by sound waves. Due to higher cell density and angiogenesis, malignant masses have higher stiffness than benign ones. Methods: The present study was a prospective study and was performed on patients who were referred to Ahvaz Golestan Hospital with breast mass during Marc...
متن کاملShear Wave Elastography May Add a New Dimension to Ultrasound Evaluation of Thyroid Nodules: Case Series with Comparative Evaluation
Although elastography can enhance the differential diagnosis of thyroid nodules, its diagnostic performance is not ideal at present. Further improvements in the technique and creation of robust diagnostic criteria are necessary. The purpose of this study was to compare the usefulness of strain elastography and a new generation of elasticity imaging called supersonic shear wave elastography (SSW...
متن کاملUsing level set based inversion of arrival times to recover shear wave speed in transient elastography and supersonic imaging
Transient elastography and supersonic imaging are promising new techniques for characterizing the elasticity of soft tissues. Using this method, an ‘ultrafast imaging’ system (up to 10 000 frames s−1) follows in real time the propagation of a low-frequency shear wave. The displacement of the propagating shear wave is measured as a function of time and space. Here we develop a fast level set bas...
متن کاملAssociation of conventional ultrasound, elastography and clinicopathological factors with axillary lymph node status in invasive ductal breast carcinoma with sizes > 10 mm
Background To evaluate whether conventional ultrasound, elastography [conventional strain elastography of elasticity imaging, acoustic radiation force impulse induced strain elastography of virtual touch tissue imaging, and a novel two-dimensional shear wave elastography of virtual touch tissue imaging quantification] and clinicopathological factors are associated with axillary lymph node metas...
متن کاملA comparative study of shear wave speed estimation techniques in optical coherence elastography applications
Optical Coherence Elastography (OCE) is a widely investigated noninvasive technique for estimating the mechanical properties of tissue. In particular, vibrational OCE methods aim to estimate the shear wave velocity generated by an external stimulus in order to calculate the elastic modulus of tissue. In this study, we compare the performance of five acquisition and processing techniques for est...
