A comprehensive, easy-to-use guide on elastography from a Who's Who
of international experts This practical guide is a compilation of
firsthand expertise from leading authorities around the world on
the use of ultrasound elastography. The stiffness or softness of
the imaged tissue derived from elastography provides accurate
radiologic diagnosis for disease processes including cancer,
inflammation, and fibrosis. It is an efficacious and accurate
diagnostic imaging modality that helps avoid invasive biopsies. The
first two chapters cover basic fundamental principles of
elastography, with subsequent chapters exploring pathology-specific
utilization. The authors cover the extensively validated and
implemented use of elastography for diffuse liver disease, and
diseases of the breast andthyroid gland. They also discuss the
potential benefits and limitations for the prostate, spleen,
pancreas, kidneys, musculoskeletal system, salivary glands, lymph
nodes, and testes. The book concludes with a chapter on potential
future applications of this ever-evolving technology. Key
Highlights Discussion of key differences between strain
elastography and shear wave elastography by individual organ
systems Clinical pearls on how to accurately perform elastography
and tips for avoiding false-positive or false-negative results Case
studies elucidate the targeted use of elastographic findings by
specific pathology Illustrations in the breast and liver chapters
demonstrate precise transducer techniques MRI elastography as an
emerging and safe assessment tool, primarily for the diagnosis of
liver disease, with emergent potential for additional organs This
book provides key knowledge on visualizing quantifiable differences
in tissue elasticity and applying this data to improved treatment
strategies for diverse pathologies. It is essential reading for
radiologists, sonographers, and imaging technicians.
