Zusammenfassung
Purpose: Shear wave elastography – a new technology, which in addition to ultrasound imaging provides quantitative information about tissue elasticity. Recently, shear wave elastography has been successfully used to the study elasticity of different organs and tissues.. Application of shear wave elastography for the assessment of blood vessels elasticity has not been established. The aim of this study is to assess the possibility of shear wave elastography in the study of the carotid arteries, evaluate a reproducible quantitative measurement of elasticity of the carotid arteries by this method. Material and meth…
