Transient elastography is an ultrasound-based technology that involves acquisition of pulse-echo ultrasound signals to measure liver stiffness. It involves using the tip of an ultrasound ...

Recently, the new contrast agent Sonovue is being used more frequently for echo-enhanced sonography. Furthermore, second harmonic imaging has been replaced partially by the pulse inversion imaging ...

The transducer emits a pulse of sound and then must listen for the echo. The smaller the distance, the smaller the time interval between the pulse and when the echo returns. There is a fundamental ...
