Elastography

Elastography

Elastography in the context of diagnostic services, emerges as a non-invasive imaging technique designed to gauge the elasticity and rigidity of bodily tissues. In contrast to conventional imaging methods like X-rays or CT scans, elastography zeroes in on tissue properties rather than anatomical structures. It harnesses the principle that abnormal or diseased tissues often exhibit distinctive stiffness or softness when compared to their healthy counterparts. This invaluable information aids in early disease identification and treatment strategy formulation.
Ultrasound Elastography
A fusion of traditional ultrasound imaging with elastography, this method deploys sound waves to produce real-time images showcasing tissue stiffness. By gently applying pressure using the ultrasound probe, our healthcare professionals can observe tissue deformation and precisely quantify its elasticity.
Shear Wave Elastography:
This technique generates shear waves within the tissues and measures their speed of propagation. Stiffer tissues transmit these waves more rapidly, allowing us to deliver precise assessments of tissue stiffness. It finds extensive use in evaluating liver fibrosis, breast lesions, and musculoskeletal conditions.

Within our diagnostic services, elastography harnesses various technologies to gauge tissue elasticity. The two primary approaches are:

Rest assured, elastography, as part of our diagnostic services, is generally recognized as safe and non-invasive. It excludes exposure to ionizing radiation, making it the preferred choice for continuous monitoring, particularly for pregnant women and children. Nonetheless, we acknowledge that individual health and medical history may necessitate specific considerations or contraindications, which our healthcare providers will discuss with you.
