Sonoelastography

Sonoelastography is a medical imaging technique that uses ultrasound to measure tissue stiffness. It sends sound waves into the body and analyzes how the tissue responds—softer tissues deform more, while stiffer tissues resist deformation. This helps doctors distinguish between healthy and abnormal areas, such as tumors or scar tissue, by providing additional information about tissue elasticity. Sonoelastography is non-invasive and often used alongside traditional ultrasound, enhancing diagnostic accuracy for conditions like breast lumps, liver issues, or musculoskeletal problems. It offers a safe way to assess tissue properties in real-time, aiding in better diagnosis and treatment planning.
