= Elastography
{wiki=Elastography}
Elastography is an imaging technique used to assess the mechanical properties of soft tissues, particularly their stiffness or elasticity. It is commonly utilized in conjunction with ultrasound imaging, though it can also be applied with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The primary purpose of elastography is to provide additional information about tissue properties that may not be visible through traditional imaging methods. This can be particularly useful in the evaluation of various medical conditions, such as liver fibrosis or tumors.
