Publication: Clinical experience with shear wave elastography

We congratulate our colleague Jürgen Jenne and his co-authors for his recent publication on Clinical experience with shear wave elastography (SWE) for assessing healthy uterus in a transabdominal approach.

SWE is a non-invasive imaging modality that measures the elasticity of tissues and which is widely applied to assess liver-related diseases like liver fibrosis and cirrhosis. But also in the field of gynecology, ongoing research is exploring the potential clinical benefits for diagnosis of uterine malignancies.

The aim of the current study was to investigate the uterine sono-elastographic characteristics in healthy women as reference measure for reasonable statements about pathological processes.
