Application progresses of real-time shear wave elastography in skeletal muscles / 中国医学影像技术

ABSTRACT

The central nervous system disease and musculoskeletal diseases often involve skeletal muscles.Quantitative evaluation of strength and hardness of a single muscle accurately and rapidly are basis for causation analysis of movement dysfunction.Real-time shear wave elastography (SWE) is a new ultrasonic imaging technique developed in recent years,and still has a preliminary application in the skeletal muscle system.The application and research progresses of SWE in auxiliary diagnosis of disease in skeletal muscles were reviewed in this article.
