Elastographic techniques are new ultrasound-based imaging techniques developed to
estimate tissue deformability/stiffness. Several ultrasound elastographic
approaches have been developed, such as static elastography, transient
elastography and acoustic radiation force imaging methods, which include point
shear wave and shear wave imaging elastography. The application of these methods
in clinical practice aims at estimating the mechanical tissues properties. One of
the main settings for the application of these tools has been liver stiffness
assessment in chronic liver disease, which has been studied mainly using
transient elastography. Another field of application for these techniques is the
assessment of focal lesions, detected by ultrasound in organs such as pancreas,
prostate, breast, thyroid, lymph nodes. Considering the frequency and importance
of the detection of focal liver lesions through routine ultrasound, some studies
have also aimed to assess the role that elestography can play in studying the
stiffness of different types of liver lesions, in order to predict their nature
and thus offer valuable non-invasive methods for the diagnosis of liver masses.
