Elastografia: Uma Abordagem Prática (Original PDF from Publisher)

Ultrasound Elastography: A Practical Manual for Radiologists and Imaging Technicians

This comprehensive manual, brought together by leading authorities in the field, provides a detailed guide to the use of ultrasound elastography in medical imaging. By visualizing tissue stiffness or softness, elastography offers an accurate radiological diagnosis of various pathologic processes, including cancer, inflammation, and fibrosis.

The Fundamentals of Elastography

The first two chapters of this manual delve into the fundamental principles of elastography, providing a solid understanding of this innovative imaging modality. Elastography is an effective and accurate tool that helps avoid invasive biopsies, making it an essential skill for radiologists, sonographers, and imaging technicians.

Applications in Specific Pathologies

Subsequent chapters explore the use of elastography in diagnosing and treating a range of specific pathologies, including:

  • Diffuse liver disease
  • Breast disease
  • Prostate disease
  • Spleen disease
  • Pancreas disease
  • Kidney disease
  • Musculoskeletal disorders
  • Salivary gland disorders
  • Lymph node disorders
  • Testicular disorders

The authors also discuss the potential benefits and limitations of elastography in each of these areas, providing a comprehensive understanding of its applications and limitations.

Future Directions in Ultrasound Elastography

The final chapter of this manual explores the potential future applications of this rapidly evolving technology, highlighting its potential to revolutionize the field of medical imaging.

This practical manual provides fundamental knowledge on visualizing quantifiable differences in tissue elasticity and applying this information to improve therapeutic strategies for various pathologies. It is essential reading for radiologists, sonographers, and imaging technicians seeking to stay at the forefront of medical imaging.
