Preliminary Application of Shear Wave Dispersion Imaging in Differentiating Benign and Malignant Liver Tumors

Shear wave elastography (SWE) is a new ultrasound technology developed in recent years, widely used in the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of diseases of the liver, breast, thyroid, prostate, and others[1]. The limitation of SWE lies in the algorithms for assessing tissue elasticity, which neglect the impact of tissue viscosity. Viscosity can also characterize the … Read more
