Applications of Elastography

Elastography is used for the investigation of many disease conditions in many organs. It can be used for additional diagnostic information compared to a mere anatomical image, and it can be used to guide biopsies or, increasingly, replace them entirely. Biopsies are invasive and painful, presenting a risk of hemorrhage or infection, whereas elastography is completely noninvasive.

Elastography is used to investigate disease in the liver. Liver stiffness is usually indicative of fibrosis or steatosis(fatty liver disease), which are in turn indicative of numerous disease conditions, including cirrhosis and hepatitis. Elastography is particularly advantageous in this case because when fibrosis is diffuse (spread around in clumps rather than continuous scarring) , a biopsy can easily miss sampling the diseased tissue, which results in a false negative misdiagnosis.

Naturally, elastography sees use for organs and diseases where manual palpation was already widespread. Elastography is used for detection and diagnosis of breast, thyroid, and prostate cancers. Certain types of elastography are also suitable for musculoskeletal imaging, and they can determine the mechanical properties and state of muscles and tendons.

Because elastography does not have the same limitations as manual palpation, it is being investigated in some areas for which there is no history of diagnosis with manual palpation. For example, magnetic resonance elastography is capable of assessing the stiffness of the brain, and there is a growing body of scientific literature on elastography in healthy and diseased brains.

Preliminary reports on elastography used on transplanted kidneys to evaluate cortical fibrosis have been published showing promising results.

Color-flow imaging

Color-flow imaging is an enhanced form of Doppler ultrasound technology. In a procedure similar to duplex ultrasound, it uses color to highlight the direction of blood flow. Vessels in which blood is flowing are colored red for flow in one direction and blue for flow in the other, with a color scale that reflects the speed of the flow.It can clearly understand the anatomical shape and activity of large blood vessels, and can visually display the direction, speed, range of blood flow, and whether there are blood flow disorders and abnormal pathways. The speed of blood flow determines the reflection frequency, which is represented by amplitude beam in spectral Doppler. The velocity of blood flow is fast, and the amplitude on the spectrum curve is high; the velocity of blood flow is slow, and the amplitude on the spectrum curve is low, so amplitude can accurately calculate the velocity of blood flow. Color Doppler images are displayed with different brilliance.
