Advanced Radiology has been a pioneer practice in the clinical use of elastography. It is used in conjunction with other ultrasound imaging and Doppler parameters.
Elastography Ultrasound allows our radiologists to map the elastic properties of soft tissue. High-frequency sound waves are used to measure the softness or hardness of tissue, which helps your doctor diagnose or track certain conditions and diseases. Elastography may be used on numerous organs and tissues, including the liver, prostate, thyroid and breast. It can help differentiate between malignant (cancerous) and benign (non-cancerous) tissues, identify changes in muscles and tendons, as well as assess liver fibrosis.
