Elastography
Elastography shows the spatial distribution of tissue elasticity properties in a region of interest by estimating the strain before and after tissue distortion caused by external or internal forces.
The strain estimation is filtered and scaled to provide a smooth presentation when displayed. Elastography displays firmer tissue in blue and softer tissue in red.
A quality indicator in the form of a bar or a graph provides visual feedback to monitor the compression technique and helps make elastography reproducible and easy to learn.
Availability of Elastography varies for system and region. Consult User Manual for full details.
