Abstract

Aim: Sonoelastography is a non-invasive imaging method used to evaluate the mechanical properties of any tissue. The clinical value of method, the usage of which is increasingly prevailing, is gradually increasing and on account of having newly entered the application field, it is becoming a potential in the research area. Shear wave (SW) propagates faster in stiffer and lower elastic tissues. Studies on liver fibrosis musculoskeletal, breast, prostate, testis, and thyroid nodules accept this principle. In this study, aimed to determine the average values using the point shear wave elastography (pSWE) technique in normal healthy individuals and to determine the relationship of these values with age, gender, body mass index (BMI), and the spleen dimensions.

Özet

Amaç: Sonoelastografi, dokunun mekanik özelliklerini değerlendirmede kullanılan noninvaziv bir görüntüleme yöntemidir. Kullanımı giderek yaygınlaşan bu yöntemin klinik değeri giderek artmakta olup bazı cihazların uygulama alanına yeni girmiş olması nedeniyle araştırma alanında potansiyel oluşturmaktadır. Daha sert ve elastisitesi daha düşük dokularda kayma dalgası daha hızlı yayılmaktadır. Karaciğer fibrozu, kas-iskelet sistemi, meme, prostat, testis ve tiroid nodülleri üzerine yapılan çalışmalar bu prensibi kabul etmektedir. Bu çalışmada normal sağlıklı bireylerde dalak sertliğini pSWE tekniği kullanılarak kantitatif olarak değerlendirerek ortalama değerleri saptamayı ve bu değerlerin yaş, cinsiyet, vücut kitle indeksi ve dalak boyutları ile ilişkisini saptamayı amaçlanmıştır.
