Abstract:
Trans-rectal ultrasound is widely used in the diagnosis of rectal cancer.Elastography technique is based on the endorectal conventional ultrasound and can assess tumor stiffness and further detect the characteristics of tumor.It is helpful to provide more information for the differential diagnosis of rectal cancer,preoperative staging and the chemotherapy efficacy evaluation.The applications of strain elastography in the diagnosis of rectal cancer were reviewed in this article.
