“…Instead of a single focal location, as in point SWE, multiple focal zones are interrogated in rapid succession, faster than the shear wave speed . The growing number of studies on thyroid shear wave imaging has provided encouraging results . However, the following limitations have been highlighted in the literature.…”

“…Unfortunately, this technique is still quite new and not widely used in clinical practice, so its universal adoption cannot be recommended by the guidelines, but there is important evidence of its clinical utility and its application in current practice is increasing. As any imaging technique, it holds its limitations [90].…”

The most precise evaluation of thyroid masses is by high-sensitive ultrasound. Complementary to B-mode ultrasound, elastography can add valuable information by determining tissue stiffness-an important predictor for malignancy. All major guidelines recommend nodules with high suspicious ultrasound characteristics larger than 1 cm to be addressed to ultrasound-guided fine needle aspiration biopsy (FNAB) to rule out malignancy. The main limitation of this procedure is represented by indeterminate cytology, which accounts for up to 20-25% of biopsy results. Molecular markers imply elevated costs and their performance needs further study. Elastography may be helpful in establishing the optimal therapeutic attitude for this cytological category. Currently, there are two ultrasound elastography methods available for assessing tissue stiffness using the parallel deformation to the applied force direction (strain) or the perpendicular deformation to the force direction (shear wave). These methods will be presented and compared in this chapter, with their indications and limitations for a better understanding of their application in nodular thyroid pathology.

Psoriasis is a chronic inlammatory autoimmune disease that involves the skin, nails, joints and other organs, being a systemic disease. Regardless of the clinical form, sonography can be efectively used to complete the clinical diagnosis. Aim:The identiication of non-invasive sonographic markers for the assessment of the severity of the disease and the eicacy of various therapies. Our study involved two research directions: (a) clinical and imagistic assessment of the skin and nail psoriasis lesions and (b) the imagistic evaluation of the therapeutic eicacy in psoriasis plaques and nail psoriasis by acquirement of sonographic images prior and after various therapies. Methods:In our prospective study, we used a multimodal evaluation of the disease, based on a non-invasive approach: clinical exam, dermoscopy, conventional and high frequency sonography, Doppler, power Doppler and elastography. Conclusions:Ultrasonography is an important tool for the non-invasive assessment of psoriatic lesions. It ofers speciic markers related to morphology, elasticity and blood supply of the lesions, improving the diagnosis and monitoring of the skin and nail lesions.
