Zusammenfassung

fruscal@libero.it Objective: To evaluate the influence of derivative pitch (DP) and the cycle phase selected in strain calculation on the feasibility and reliability of cervical elastography for quantitative stiffness assessment during pregnancy. Patients and Methods: This prospective study included a random group of 17 patients between the 12th and 42th weeks of gestation. Three raw datasets pro patients were acquired and the cervical tissue strain (TS) was twice measured as naturalstrain by a single operator using the TDI-Q (tissue Doppler imaging – Quantification) software. The influence of DP values (5, 10,…
