This document discusses the use of breast and thyroid sonoelastography and shear wave elastography in evaluating various clinical cases. It presents case studies demonstrating how elastography can help characterize nodules, cysts, lymph nodes and tissue changes after radiation therapy. Quantitative shear wave elastography provides stiffness measurements that can help differentiate benign from malignant lesions and identify tissue abnormalities. The goal of elastography is to correctly quantify tissue elasticity and identify elasticity cut-off values to aid the diagnostic evaluation of diffuse and focal diseases.
