Primary study designInterventional
Secondary study designNon randomised controlled trial
Study setting(s)Hospital
Study typePrevention
Scientific title
Study acronymUltrasound Elastography
Study objectivesUltrasound elastography is a non-invasive ultrasound method which evaluates the deformability of a structure. The principle of elastography is the utilisation of tissue compression producing varying levels of strain within different tissue types. 'Strain images' obtained can then be analysed to assess the mechanical properties of tissues and infer their size and nature.
Ethics approval(s)MREC approved (ref: 07/H0306/90)
