Category Supplementary Resource Organisation Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) ID Sup227 Type Standard Version 2022c Access Open Status Active Created Jun-22 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.Main sections:· Scope and field· TID 12000 General ultrasound report· TID 12001 Ultrasound patient characteristics· TID 5401 Ultrasound shear wave elastography section· TID 5402 Shear wave elastography measurement Access Supplement 227: Ultrasound Shear Wave Elastography Structured Report By accessing this content, you are leaving this website.
