Abstract:
Ultrasonic elastography is a new technique of ultrasonic diagnosis and plays an important role in the diagnosis and monitoring of chronic liver diseases in recent years. This article introduces the principle and classification of ultrasonic elastography, as well as the application value of different techniques of ultrasonic elastography in liver diseases and related research advances. It is pointed out that ultrasonic elastography can analyze the stiffness of liver tissue qualitatively and quantitatively, which makes up for the shortage of traditional ultrasonic imaging and enriches diagnostic information. Therefore, ultrasonic elastography has an important clinical value and holds promise for wide clinical application.
