摘要

Many manufacturers of ultrasound systems offer elastography capabilities. Though the research literature describesntechniques involving external actuators, commercial systems have preferred to adopt techniques that may be used with ansingle transducer. Techniques may be divided into those which measure strain and those which measure shear wave velocity.nStrain elastography involves deformation of the tissue followed by imaging of the degree of compression or extension of thentissue. Strain elastography does not estimate tissue stiffness; however, the strain ratio may be used as a surrogate index ofnstiffness. Shear wave elastography provides true quantitative information on elastic modulus. This involves induction of shearnwaves, estimation of shear wave velocity cs and conversion to elastic modulus E using the equation E ¼ 3rcsn2nwhere r is thendensity. The description of tissues as being purely elastic is simplistic. In practice they may also exhibit time-dependentnviscous behaviour. Recent literature describe methods that have been developed for estimation of the viscoelastic behaviournfrom the change in strain with time or by estimation of the shear wave dispersion, a technique known as ‘shear wavenspectroscopy’. These methods may become commercially available in the medium term, offering a new quantity (tissuenviscosity) for diagnostic use.
