When performing a biopsy procedure, radiologists can feel more confident in their sampling with the assistance of shear wave elastography.

Ultrasound has become one of the most important diagnostic tools in a radiologist’s toolkit. In the early days of ultrasound imaging, it was designed to provide an anatomical and morphological view of the patient. However, as the technology has continued to improve, today ultrasound can provide more detail and information, including visualizing tissue stiffness, microvascularization, the level of fat content in the tissue and inflammation. These biomarkers are now critical to a radiologist’s imaging analysis.
