Abstract:
In recent years, ultrasound elastography, as a new technique for evaluating soft tissue elasticity, has been progressively used in musculoskeletal system. Shear-wave elastography (SWE) is considered to be more objective, quantitative, and reproducible than other ultrasonic elastography techniques with increasing applications to the musculoskeletal system. A number of studies have shown that SWE has high application value in determining severity and prognosis of the musculoskeletal tissue diseases (including tendons, muscles, nerves and ligaments). This article describes the applications of SWE in the evaluation of musculoskeletal system.
