Ultrasound Elastography Images in Vascular Anomalies

J Ultrasound Med. 2019 Aug;38(8):2225-2231. doi: 10.1002/jum.14900. Epub 2018 Dec 11.

Abstract

Ultrasound elastography is an emerging imaging technique that provides an objective method to assess the relative or absolute stiffness of soft tissues. The authors have not found any description in the use of ultrasound elastography in vascular anomalies, and we want to share our experience in different cases with ultrasound elastography and its applications in these pathologies.

Keywords: elastography; skin sonography; vascular anomalies.
