Aim: To assess the influence of various technical acquisition parameters on hue distribution in elastographic images. Material and methods: The study was conducted using a Hitachi EUB8500 machine (linear 7–13MHz transducer) and a CIRS, model 059 Breast Elastography phantom (CIRS, Norfolk, USA). Three lesions in the phantom were selected for assessment. Each author scanned them each, twice. A combination of standard acquisition parameters was set for assessing, within each lesion, the effect of: lesion depth and size, elastography ROI size and gain, transducer tilting, compression degree as pointed by the machine…
