Descriptor English: Elasticity Imaging Techniques
Descriptor Spanish: Diagnóstico por Imagen de Elasticidad
Descriptor elastografía
Scope note: Métodos incruentos de diagnóstico por imágenes basados en la respuesta mecánica de un objeto a una fuerza de vibración o impulsiva. Se utilizan para determinar las propiedades viscoelásticas de los tejidos, y diferenciar así las inclusiones tisulares blandas de las inclusiones duras, como las microcalcificaciones, y algunas lesiones cancerosas. La mayoría de las técnicas utilizan los ultrasonidos para crear las imágenes, provocando la respuesta con una fuerza de radiación ecográfica y registrando los desplazamientos del tejido mediante ecografía Doppler.

Scope note: Non-invasive imaging methods based on the mechanical response of an object to a vibrational or impulsive force. It is used for determining the viscoelastic properties of tissue, and thereby differentiating soft from hard inclusions in tissue such as microcalcifications, and some cancer lesions. Most techniques use ultrasound to create the images - eliciting the response with an ultrasonic radiation force and/or recording displacements of the tissue by Doppler ultrasonography.
