Shear Wave Elastography

What SWE adds to traditional ultrasound scan?
Elastography enhances diagnostic abilities beyond standard ultrasound by assessing tissue stiffness, which is critical for detecting conditions such as liver fibrosis and accurately distinguishing between malignant and benign tumors. It offers quantitative data, enabling early detection of diseases and monitoring of treatment effectiveness. Unlike traditional ultrasound that primarily visualizes tissue anatomy, elastography provides functional information, significantly improving accuracy in identifying benign versus malignant lesions. This non-invasive and painless technique enhances patient comfort and decreases reliance on invasive procedures like biopsies, thereby providing a safer and more informative diagnostic option.
