The objective of this study was to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of
sonoelastography in patients of primary and secondary health care settings.
Google scholar, PubMed, Medline, Medscape, Wikipedia and NCBI were searched in
October 2017 for all original studies and review articles to identify the
relevant material. Two reviewers independently selected articles for evaluation
of the diagnostic accuracy of sonoelastography in different diseases based on
titles and abstracts retrieved by the literature search. The accuracy of
sonoelastography in different diseases was used as the index text, while B-mode
sonography, micro pure imaging, surgery and histological findings were used as
reference texts. Superficial lymph nodes, neck nodules, malignancy in thyroid
nodules, benign and malignant cervical lymph nodes, thyroid nodules, prostate
carcinoma, benign and malignant breast abnormalities, liver diseases, parotid and
salivary gland masses, pancreatic masses, musculoskeletal diseases and renal
disorders were target conditions. The data extracted by the two reviewers
concerning selected study characteristics and results were presented in tables
and figures. In total, 46 studies were found for breast masses, lymph nodes,
prostate carcinoma, liver diseases, salivary and parotid gland diseases,
pancreatic masses, musculoskeletal diseases and renal diseases, and the overall
sensitivity of sonoelastography in diagnosing all these diseases was 83.14% while
specificity was 81.41%. This literature review demonstrates that sonoelastography
is characterized by high sensitivity and specificity in diagnosing different
disorders of the body.
