Breast Elastography: Present and Future
ثبت نشده
چکیده
Gradually, ultrasound equipment have suffered a major technological development, starting with the Doppler log or the introduction of harmonics, until the recent use of intravenous contrast and of course elastography. The first team was launched in 2003, later emerging numerous similar systems have been launched different commercial houses, which have been incorporated to ultrasound equipment progressively [2]. The results have been demonstrating that this technique is able to differentiate benign lesions from those with malignant behavior [3-5].

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 کاملElastography Method for Reconstruction of Nonlinear Breast Tissue Properties
Elastography is developed as a quantitative approach to imaging linear elastic properties of tissues to detect suspicious tumors. In this paper a nonlinear elastography method is introduced for reconstruction of complex breast tissue properties. The elastic parameters are estimated by optimally minimizing the difference between the computed forces and experimental measures. A nonlinear adjoint ...

متن کاملPractice guideline for the performance of breast ultrasound elastography
Ultrasound (US) elastography is a valuable imaging technique for tissue characterization. Two main types of elastography, strain and shear-wave, are commonly used to image breast tissue. The use of elastography is expected to increase, particularly with the increased use of US for breast screening. Recently, the US elastographic features of breast masses have been incorporated into the 2nd edit...
