What is Shear Wave
Shear Wave Elastography provides a quantitative assessment of tissue stiffness by measuring the speed of shear waves traveling through the tissue. This feature is particularly useful in the evaluation of liver fibrosis, breast lesions, and other soft tissue abnormalities, offering non-invasive insights into tissue pathology.
How Shear Wave Works
The system generates shear waves within the tissue using an ultrasound pulse and then measures the speed at which these waves travel. Stiffer tissues, such as fibrotic or cancerous tissue, cause the waves to move faster, allowing clinicians to quantify tissue elasticity and identify potential abnormalities.
Key Benefits
Non-Invasive Assessment
Offers a non-invasive method to evaluate tissue stiffness, reducing the need for more invasive procedures like biopsies.
Early Detection of Abnormalities
Helps detect early signs of fibrosis or other tissue pathologies, improving diagnostic accuracy and patient outcomes.
Quantitative Data
Provides precise, objective measurements of tissue elasticity, supporting informed clinical decision-making.
In-Depth Features
Quantitative Elastography: Provides numerical data on tissue stiffness for easy comparison over time.
Real-Time Shear Wave Imaging: Displays real-time images of shear waves as they travel through the tissue.
Color-Coded Maps: Uses color maps to visually represent areas of varying tissue stiffness, aiding in diagnosis.
Multiple Application Support: Suitable for use in liver, breast, thyroid, and musculoskeletal assessments.
Non-Invasive Procedure: Reduces the need for invasive diagnostic methods, making it more comfortable for the patient.
Real-World Use Cases
Case Study: Accurate Shear Wave Elastography with Shear Wave
In liver diagnostics, Shear Wave elastography measures tissue stiffness, aiding in the early detection of liver fibrosis and cirrhosis. By providing non-invasive, real-time assessment of liver tissue, this feature reduces the need for biopsies, improving patient comfort and speeding up diagnostic decisions.
"Shear Wave elastography has transformed how we assess liver conditions. It's non-invasive, quick, and provides accurate results that help us detect fibrosis much earlier."
— Dr. Linda Foster, Hepatologist
