Doppler Ultrasound with Elastography Precise Diagnosis, Reduced Anxiety
If you’ve ever had a Doppler ultrasound and found a nodule or abnormality, you might have felt anxious about whether it’s harmful. Now, there’s a new technique called “Elastography” that improves diagnostic accuracy, reduces anxiety, and helps doctors plan the most appropriate treatment What is Elastography? Elastography is a special technique used in conjunction with Doppler ultrasound to measure the stiffness or elasticity of tissues. The principle is that harder tissues (like cancerous nodules) are less elastic than normal tissues Why is Elastography Important? Who is Elastography Suitable For? No Fear, No Pain Doppler ultrasound with Elastography is similar to a regular Doppler ultrasound. There’s no pain or side effects. The doctor simply uses a special probe and performs additional image processing Towards More Accurate Diagnosis Elastography is another significant step in medical technology, enhancing the accuracy and effectiveness of disease diagnosis. If you have questions about Elastography or your health, consult your doctor for further advice.
