Abstract

Doppler imaging is an established ultrasonographic method employed for the accurate non-invasive evaluation of the blood flow. As the name implies, US Doppler technique uses the Doppler effect to assess how blood flows through the major blood vessels.

Ultrasound elastography (EUS) is a recently developed ultrasound-based method, which allows for qualitative visual or quantitative measurements of the mechanical properties of tissues.
