MR Elastography Growing as Preferred Modality for Liver Diagnosis

January 24, 2013 | Elastography, MRI
By

MR elastography is the preferred method for assessing liver stiffness and is growing in availability. Here’s the background, benefits, and future of this nascent modality.

Ultrasound-Based Transient Elastography Accurately Detects Cirrhosis

March 05, 2012 | Elastography, Ultrasound
By

Ultrasound-based transient elastography provides excellent diagnostic accuracy in identifying cirrhosis due to recurrent hepatitis C following liver transplantation.

Ultrasound Elastography Developments Lead to Increased Sensitivity of Malignant Nodes

March 04, 2011 | Elastography, Ultrasound, ECR 2011
By

Ultrasound elastography is shown to raise sensitivity by 24 percent for preoperative assessment of axillary metastases in suspected breast cancer. Meanwhile, microbubbles identify sentinel lymph nodes, minimizing operations, according to researchers presenting at ECR 2011.

Shear wave elastography could become standard practice

November 17, 2010 | Elastography

Dr. Ellen Mendelson is a co-author on a paper exploring the use of shear wave elastography to distinguish between benign and malignant lesions. In an interview with Diagnostic Imaging, she explains what shear wave elastography is and why it could become a standard element of breast imaging.

Market analysis finds value in new ultrasound equipment, applications

June 03, 2010 | Elastography, Ultrasound

Radiation safety standards are becoming increasingly stringent. Ultrasound systems, however, present no such safety threats, and manufacturers are trying to enhance the versatility of these devices, both in primary and secondary diagnosis. Elastography and therapeutic and contrast-enhanced ultrasound are poised to herald new and more effective means of diagnosis.

Shearwave elastography improves breast lesion Dx

May 26, 2010 | Elastography
By

Reducing the number of breast biopsies by better classifying suspicious lesions noninvasively could improve healthcare and cut healthcare costs, laudable goals in the current era of healthcare—and economic—reform.

New US technique predicts chemotherapy response

April 29, 2010 | Elastography
By

A new ultrasound technique that measures cell death, tumor elastography, and vascular patterns can better predict how well cancer patients are responding to chemotherapy, Canadian researchers report.
