Elastography is an advanced ultrasound technique that measures the stiffness or elasticity of tissues. By providing additional information beyond traditional imaging, elastography helps distinguish between normal, benign, and potentially malignant or diseased tissues. It is non-invasive, safe, and highly valuable in the diagnosis and monitoring of various conditions.
Liver Elastography
A non-invasive test that measures liver stiffness to assess fibrosis and monitor chronic liver disease.
Breast Elastography
An advanced ultrasound that evaluates breast tissue stiffness to help distinguish benign from malignant lesions.
Thyroid Elastography
A quick, painless test that measures thyroid nodule stiffness to assess the risk of malignancy.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is elastography?
A. Elastography is an advanced ultrasound technique that measures tissue stiffness, helping doctors detect and monitor conditions in the liver, breast, and thyroid.
Is elastography painful?
A: No. Elastography is completely non-invasive and feels the same as a regular ultrasound.
How long does an elastography test take?
A: The scan usually takes 10–20 minutes, with results available immediately.
Can this replace a liver biopsy?
A: In many cases, yes. While biopsy may still be needed in select cases, elastography significantly reduces the need for invasive procedures.
Do I need to prepare for the test?
A:
Liver elastography: You may be asked to fast for 2–4 hours before the exam.
Breast or thyroid elastography: No special preparation is required.
How is elastography different from a standard ultrasound?
A: While ultrasound shows the structure of tissues, elastography adds information about tissue stiffness, which can help distinguish between normal, benign, and suspicious findings.
Can elastography replace a biopsy?
A: In many cases, elastography reduces the need for unnecessary biopsies, but if results are unclear or suspicious, a biopsy may still be required for confirmation.
Is elastography safe for everyone?
A: Yes. It is safe, uses no radiation, and can be performed on adults, children, and even pregnant women.
