ElastoScan
An elastogram is the elasticity imaging of an object, based on continuous ultrasound images. The
function that measures the elasticity of an object and converts it to images is called ElastoScan.
ElastoScan visualizes the presence of a solid mass or stiffness in tissue.
It is already well known that lesions such as tumors are different from healthy tissue in terms of their
stiffness. Up until now, palpation has been used for examination, but this method has certain depth
limitations.
