Foreword
In the past few years, elastosonography has recently been presented in clinical studies as a new technique applied to ultrasound imaging. This new technique evaluates noninvasively tissue-specific consistency. Clinical experiences in elastosonography have been given promising results in the study of numerous organs. As for Doppler also, elastosonography improves the diagnostic capability of ultrasound imaging. This book, titled Atlas of Elastosonography – clinical applications with imaging correlations – edited by Clevert, D’Onofrio, and Quaia, presents an extensive series of images which describe possible applications of elastosonography in the routine clinical practice. After a brief technical introduction, all applications of elastosonography in the superficial parts and abdomen are effectively described by representative cases, also with imaging correlations. Due to the nowadays applications of elastosonography on most of body organ
