Ultrasound elastography for musculoskeletal applications

Abstract: Ultrasound elastography (EUS) is a method to assess the mechanical properties of tissue, by applying stress and detecting tissue displacement using ultrasound. There are several EUS techniques used in clinical practice; strain (compression) EUS is the most common technique that allows real-time visualisation of the elastographic map on the screen. There is increasing evidence that EUS can be used to measure the mechanical properties of musculoskeletal tissue in clinical practice, with the future potential for … Show more

“…After obtaining a cine loops of at least three compression, the radiologist chosen one static image for analysis. The static image was usually chosen at the compression phase and in the middle of each cycle (Drakonaki et al, 2012). Elastogram image is displayed at the left side and the corresponding conventional US image is on the right side.…”

“…The strain of each area is compared with the remaining tissue within the elastogram, so the elastogram is a relative image available for visual comparison. However, the major problem in strain RTE is the lack of quantitative measurements (Drakonaki et al, 2012). For now, the semi-quantitative measurement method includes patterns, scores or grades (Alam et al, 2008;Parajuly et al, 2012;Teng et al, 2012).…”

“…Encore une fois, cette technique peut manquer de spécificité. Il est également à noter que les propriétés visco-élastiques des tissus peuvent également être évaluées par des méthodes ultrasonores, avec des résultats comparables à la RMN mais un net avantage en terme de facilité d'implémentation (Drakonaki et al 2012). Une détection plus directe de la fibrose a également été proposée.…”

“…However, muscular US has been shown to have several disadvantages regarding the reliability of the results in terms of intra-and inter-observer agreement (Tagliafico et al [9] , personal communication). US elastography assesses tissue stiffness before and after compression [17] . Until now, there are limited data about the use of elastography to assess normal and pathologic skeletal muscle.…”

“…Until now, there are limited data about the use of elastography to assess normal and pathologic skeletal muscle. However, it is likely that fatty infiltration of a muscle determines global reduce stiffness, as suggested in studies on inflammatory myositis [17] . There are no significant radiological studies about US assessment of skeletal muscle in individuals with vitamin D deficiency.…”
