Elastography of the Musculoskeletal System

  • 249 Accesses

Abstract

Elastography is an imaging method which has recently been developed and which allows, thanks to the intrinsic characteristics of the tissues studied, to evaluate the elasticity/stiffness characteristics of the tissues and organs in the context of an ultrasound study.

It is essential to understand the physical principles, the innumerable varieties of elastography, and the technical artefacts to allow its application in advanced diagnostic imaging fields such as musculoskeletal ultrasound.
