The stiffness or softness of the imaged tissue derived from elastography provides accurate radiologic diagnosis for disease processes including cancer, inflammation, and fibrosis. It is an efficacious and accurate diagnostic imaging modality that helps avoid invasive biopsies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe first two chapters cover basic fundamental principles of elastography, with subsequent chapters exploring pathology-specific utilization. The authors cover the extensively validated and implemented use of elastography for diffuse liver disease, and diseases of the breast andthyroid gland. They also discuss the potential benefits and limitations for the prostate, spleen, pancreas, kidneys, musculoskeletal system, salivary glands, lymph nodes, and testes. The book concludes with a chapter on potential future applications of this ever-evolving technology.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Highlights\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiscussion of key differences between strain elastography and shear wave elastography by individual organ systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClinical pearls on how to accurately perform elastography and tips for avoiding false-positive or false-negative results\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCase studies elucidate the targeted use of elastographic findings by specific pathology\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIllustrations in the breast and liver chapters demonstrate precise transducer techniques\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMRI elastography as an emerging and safe assessment tool, primarily for the diagnosis of liver disease, with emergent potential for additional organs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book provides key knowledge on visualizing quantifiable differences in tissue elasticity and applying this data to improved treatment strategies for diverse pathologies.
