Elastography is Changing RadiologyRadiologists have new opportunities to support patient care

With new advanced elastography technologies, radiologists can now support and influence patient care with new clinical information available only through elastography. But to do so, radiologists must become experts in guiding adoption of these tools, including understanding how they work.

Understanding Elastography
ARFI elastography compresses tissue within a user-defined region of interest using an acoustic beam. ARFI technology also generates and tracks the propagation of shear waves to provide a quantitative measurement of tissue stiffness.
