Elastography

Elastography is a medical imaging modality that maps and quantifies tissue mechanical properties, particularly stiffness or elasticity, by measuring tissue deformation or shear-wave propagation in response to controlled mechanical or acoustic excitation, typically using ultrasound (and sometimes MRI) as the detection method.
