Abstract:
Shear wave elastography (SWE) is used to quantitatively analyze the hardness of the tissue by Young's modulus.The hardness of the tissue is visualized in the form of color coding to distinguish the benign and malignant tissue detected.SWE has higher sensitivity,accuracy and specificity compared with traditional color doppler,which is more objective than elastography,safer,cheaper and simpler than MRI.SWE has a good application prospect in the diagnosis,clinical staging and curative effect monitoring of cervical cancer.
