Shear wave elastography
Canon Medical Systems' shear wave technology provides a quantitative measure and dynamic visual display of tissue stiffness in a variety of clinical settings ranging from abdominal to small parts examinations. The highly accurate and reproducible tool provides fully integrated measurement and reporting for seamless integration into your clinical workflow.
Smart Maps
Aplio's Smart Maps allow you to visualize and quantify shear wave propagation in a user-defined region of interest in realtime. The user can select both dynamic propagation speed and elasticity displays for visual assessment and quantification.

The principle behind shear wave elastography
Shear waves are generated inside the human body by means of an ultrasonic burst (left). Depending on tissue stiffness, shear waves travel at varying speed, but generally very slowly through the human body. Their propagation can be followed and visualized using conventional ultrasound imaging techniques (right). The propagation speed of the shear waves directly correlates with tissue stiffness.
