| Article Title: | Ultrasound elastography of breast lesions |
| Abstract: | Static or compressive elastography (ultrasound [US] strain imaging) and acoustic radiation force impulse, of which shear wave elastography is a subtype, are the 2 main methods of breast US elastography and they differ by the type of stress or vibration applied. This article discusses using elastographic information for lesion analysis as an adjunct to the standard gray-scale morphologic and color Doppler information. © 2011 Published by Elsevier Inc. |
