Strain Elastography
CAUTION
It is provided for reference, not for confirming a diagnosis.
It is produced based on the slight manual-pressure or human respiration in 2D real-time mode. The
tissue hardness of the mass can be determined by the image color and brightness. Besides, the
relative tissue hardness is displayed in quantitative manners.
7.1
Basic Procedure for Strain Elastography
Perform the following procedure:
1.
Perform 2D scan to locate the region.
2.
Tap [Elasto] to enter the elastography mode.

right one is elasto image.
3.
Adjust ROI according to the lesion size.
4.
Press the probe according to the experiences and actual situation.
The screen displays the pressure curve in real-time:
Where, the X-axis represents time and Y-axis represents pressure.
5.
Adjust the image parameters to obtain optimized image and necessary information.
6.
Tap [B] or tap [Elasto] to exit, and then return to B mode.
