Repeatability and Reproducibility of the Measurement of Young's Modulus Using Shear Wave Elastography in Volunteers

NCT01903343 · Status: COMPLETED · Type: OBSERVATIONAL · Enrollment: 8

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The aim of the study is to assess the accuracy of shear wave elastography in volunteers. Shear wave elastography is a non-invasive, non-painful measure of tissue stiffness obtained using an ultrasound machine. It may be easier to think of shear wave elastography as a special type of ultrasound imaging which gives doctors a colour picture of body structures based on their stiffness.
