Zusammenfassung

fruscal@libero.it Objective: To evaluate the reliability of quantitative cervical elastography for stiffness assessment during pregnancy. Methods: Prospective study conducted among 74 consecutive patients in the 12th and 42th weeks of gestation. The cervical tissue strain (TS) was measured through tissue Doppler imaging (TDI)-based elastography by two independent operators as naturalstrain during a relaxation cycle phase with the 5mm derivative pitch preset. The intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) agreement and Bland-Altman plots were calculated for the intra- and inter-operator reliability. Results: The po…
