Generally, X-rays are used to examine bones, while MRI and ultrasound are used to look at softer tissues. But an emerging method is adapting X-ray to image soft tissue, so that its higher resolution ...

Elastography imaging has emerged as a pivotal adjunct to conventional ultrasonography, enabling non‐invasive assessment of tissue stiffness and thereby enhancing the differentiation of benign and ...

A new study uses magnetic resonance elastography to compare the stiffness of the hippocampus in patients who have epilepsy with healthy individuals. The technique can improve the detection and ...

Scientists from Norway and France believe measuring tumor elasticity might be a better way to detect cancer. They'll test the relatively new method, known as elastography, as an alternative to ...

A new ultrasound technique is proving valuable in distinguishing malignant from benign breast lesions in some patients -- results that could mean fewer unnecessary breast biopsies, a new study shows.

The global elastography imaging market is experiencing significant growth, with projections indicating that the industry will reach USD 7.9 billion by 2032, expanding at a robust compound annual ...
