This resource introduces a structured report section template for ultrasound shear wave elastography (SWE) results and a general ultrasound report template in which the section template can be used. Ultrasound elastography is used on tissues including liver, breast, prostate and tendon. In SWE, the ultrasound system measures shear wave speed and derives a value for elasticity (in kPa) from that. Some systems also assess viscosity (which can be correlated to inflammation) by generating a value such as shear wave dispersion slope. Strain elastography is out of the scope of this resource.
