While liver stiffness measurement by vibration-controlled transient elastography with a 25 kPa threshold might detect CSPH, the overall low quality of the studies means that these results are not very ...

December 1, 2009 (Chicago, Illinois) — Elastography imaging performed during breast ultrasound is extremely helpful in evaluating breast lesions and selecting patients who need a biopsy, according to ...

Scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), and at the University of Southern California (USC), have developed a small ultrasound sticker that can be worn on the skin to monitor the ...

FibroScan is the brand name for transient elastography, an abdominal ultrasound that measures the stiffness of liver tissues. The scan can help screen for scarring or fibrosis (tough connective tissue ...

Liver elastography is a type of imaging test that can help determine the stiffness of your liver. Healthcare professionals mainly use it to diagnose liver disease, such as cirrhosis. They can also use ...

A small ultrasound sticker, worn on the skin, can monitor the stiffness of organs deep inside the body. The sensor could detect signs of disease such as liver and kidney failure, and the progression ...
