Elastography is a medical imaging technique that measures how stiff or flexible tissues are. It helps doctors evaluate how soft or hard certain tissues are by using special equipment to identify how they change under pressure or stress. This technique is often used to evaluate liver stiffness, which can indicate liver disease, or to examine other organs and tissues for conditions like tumors or fibrosis. By measuring tissue stiffness, elastography provides valuable information that helps in diagnosing and monitoring various health issues.
