For those who treat and diagnose liver disease, whether
radiologists, emergency medical physicians, hepatologists, or
sonographers, a clear understanding of the strict protocol needed
to obtain accurate measurements is essential. Multiparametric
Ultrasound for the Assessment of Diffuse Liver Disease offers a
practical approach to liver shear wave elastography acquisition
from globally recognized leaders in the field. It answers critical
questions such as how to use each of the current techniques to best
characterize your patients' liver disease, how to deal with the
limitations of each of these techniques, and what to ask-and not to
ask-of your devices and software. Presents an overview of
conventional ultrasound findings in chronic liver disease and
portal hypertension, and presents the basic concepts and protocols
needed to measure liver stiffness and interpret liver stiffness
values. Details clinical applications, artifacts, and guidelines of
liver ultrasound elastography, including tips and tricks. Reviews
the latest ultrasound techniques to assess liver steatosis and
focal liver lesions, as well as the uses of new technologies of fat
quantification and dispersion. An eBook version is included with
purchase. The eBook allows you to access all of the text, figures
and references, with the ability to search, customize your content,
make notes and highlights, and have content read aloud.
A practical how-to manual on breast elastography This comprehensive
reference covers the principles and techniques used in performing
breast elastography, an innovative imaging technology that can
dramatically reduce the need for biopsies. The book begins with an
introduction of the techniques, followed by sections on how to
perform each technique and methods of interpretation, and concludes
with more than 60 detailed case studies. Key Features: Includes
case studies covering a wide range of breast pathologies and
illustrating the use of all available elastography techniques to
help radiologists obtain the best images for each pathology Covers
all methods of breast elastography, including sheer wave and strain
wave Contains more than 200 high-quality color images that
demonstrate how to perform each technique Breast Elastography is an
essential reference for all radiologists, residents and fellows,
and sonographers involved in breast imaging and evaluation.
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.
