Study information
| Primary study design | Interventional |
|---|---|
| Study design | Single centre non-randomised interventional diagnosis, prevention and screening trial |
| Secondary study design | Non randomised controlled trial |
| Scientific title | |
| Study acronym | Ultrasound Elastography |
| Study objectives | Ultrasound 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. |
