Elasticity Imaging of Soft Tissues
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the potential importance of tissue elasticity in
the assessment of soft tissues including muscles, tendons and ligaments and other soft
tissue structures.
The evaluation of tissue elasticity (easily stretched or moveable) may assist in assessment
of various soft tissue structures, such as fatty atrophy of muscles, tendon/ligamentous
injury and healing and other soft tissue structures.

The evaluation of tissue elasticity (easily stretched or moveable) may assist in assessment
of various soft tissue structures, such as fatty atrophy of muscles, tendon/ligamentous
injury and healing and other soft tissue structures.
Stiffness/elasticity of the tissue can be assessed by mechanical excitation with measurement
of resultant tissue motion. Reconstruction of the elastic deformability (strain imaging) in
real time ultrasound is known as sonoelastography.
Elasticity ultrasound imaging will be performed on the area being evaluated clinically.

Inclusion Criteria:
- Subjects who present for a clinically ordered ultrasound for evaluation of a soft
tissue abnormality.
