Shear Wave Elastography in the Diagnosis of Hand Tumours

الملخص EN

Diagnosis of hand tumours by conventional imaging remains difficult.

Shear wave elastography (SWE) is a noninvasive method used to quantitatively assess the mechanical properties of tissues.

We provide the first report of “histoelastographic” data concerning a finger tumour.

Our data support the notion of ultrasound assessment using multiple parameters including morphology, elasticity, viscosity, and microflow vascularization likely contributing towards a more precise diagnosis in the future.
