Elastography

Elastography

Elastography is an advanced imaging technique offered at BHUMI DIAGNOSTICS that evaluates the stiffness and elasticity of tissues. It is especially useful for detecting and diagnosing conditions related to the liver, breast, thyroid, and other organs. By measuring tissue stiffness, elastography aids in identifying abnormalities such as fibrosis or tumors.

Key Benefits of Elastography

  • Non-Invasive : Elastography is a non-invasive, pain-free method that does not require needles or incisions.
  • Accurate Diagnosis : Provides a detailed assessment that helps differentiate between benign and malignant growths or conditions.
  • Early Detection : Detects tissue abnormalities early, improving the chances of successful treatment.
  • Quick and Safe : The procedure is safe and typically completed in a short timeframe with no downtime required.

Common Applications of Elastography

  • Liver Disease : Used to assess liver fibrosis, a common complication of chronic liver disease, and to monitor conditions such as hepatitis or cirrhosis.
  • Breast Imaging : Helps differentiate benign breast lumps from potentially cancerous growths, complementing traditional mammography.
  • Thyroid Evaluation : Assists in determining whether thyroid nodules are benign or malignant.
  • Musculoskeletal Conditions : Evaluates stiffness in muscles and tendons to detect conditions like muscle injuries or tendonitis.

What to Expect During the Procedure

Elastography is similar to an ultrasound and involves placing a transducer on the skin over the area being examined. The transducer emits sound waves that measure the tissue’s response and create an image of its stiffness. The procedure is painless and typically takes around 30 minutes.

Elastography F&Q's

Elastography is an advanced imaging technique that measures the stiffness and elasticity of tissues, providing valuable information for diagnosing various medical conditions, particularly in the liver, breast, and thyroid.

Elastography uses ultrasound technology to assess how tissues respond to pressure. The transducer emits sound waves that create images based on tissue stiffness, helping to identify abnormalities.

Yes, elastography is a non-invasive and safe procedure with no exposure to radiation. It is painless and typically requires no special preparation.

Elastography is commonly used to diagnose liver fibrosis, assess breast lumps, evaluate thyroid nodules, and examine musculoskeletal conditions. It helps differentiate between benign and malignant lesions.

The elastography exam is usually completed within 30 minutes. The process is quick and straightforward, ensuring minimal disruption to your day.

No special preparation is typically required for elastography. However, your healthcare provider may provide specific instructions based on the area being examined.
