Abstract:
During the centuries, palpation has always been a crucial procedure in diagnosing the diseases. At first, these procedures were invasive, but nowadays numerous attempts by the name of elastographyhave been madeforreaching to noninvasive methods. Elastographys basic datais tissues relative displacement which is tracked by ultrasound waves. First in these systems in order to attain the displacements gradient, an image of tissue is taken and then it is compared to image of that same tissue after applying a small mechanical impulse into it. Mechanical strain is calculated by estimating the displacements gradient and demonstrated as an image with gray levels named elastogram (strains image) .Based on how the mechanical vibration is given, ultrasound-elastography will separate into four categories as follows: static, dynamic, shear-wave and passive elastography. In static-elastography, the force is applied manually by the clinician and therefore it depends on operators skill and cannot be considerable. In dynamic type the movement of tissue is constantly provided by an external vibrator, so in order to prevent the interference of impulses we must use a rapid imaging system that eventually will cost extra expense and unavailability. Shear-wave elastography which currently is the most common method used in elastography systems,has an external vibratorLike dynamic method, but due to momentary impulses, it skips the problem of impulse interference. In passive method, physiologic movements of body will be given to tissue as itsvibration. This technique is hypothetical yet.
