Ultrasonography

Ultrasonography is an imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to visualize the body's internal structures. It is a non-invasive and safe procedure that does not involve the use of ionizing radiation, making it widely used in various medical fields. Ultrasonography is used to study heart function, blood flow in the neck or extremities, certain conditions such as gallbladder disease, and fetal growth and development.
During an ultrasonography procedure, a handheld device called a...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Biophysics
  • Biomedical Engineering

Background:

  • Elastography is an emerging imaging technique that visualizes elastic tissue parameters.
  • It assesses the structural organization of both normal and pathological tissues.
  • The contrast mechanism relies on significant differences in elastic modulus between normal and abnormal tissues.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explain the fundamental principles of quasi-static elastography.
  • To reinforce the rationale for elastographic imaging using tissue property data.
  • To discuss recent advancements enabling real-time clinical elastography.

Main Methods:

  • Quasi-static elastography correlates radiofrequency echo signals before and after minor deformation (approx. 1%).
  • Tissue displacements are estimated by correlating echo signals.
  • Local displacement vectors are calculated to image strain distribution.

Main Results:

  • Elastographic imaging quantifies differences in tissue deformation, with stiffer tissues deforming less.
  • Young's modulus or tissue strain tensor images reveal these mechanical property variations.
  • The significant difference in elastic modulus between normal and abnormal tissues supports elastography's efficacy.

Conclusions:

  • Quasi-static elastography provides a quantitative method for assessing tissue elasticity.
  • Real-time elastographic imaging is now feasible on clinical ultrasound systems.
  • Clinical applications are expanding, including breast, prostate, thyroid, cardiac, and vascular imaging, as well as monitoring ablation procedures.
