Abstract

Elastography is a novel imaging technique based on ultrasound that evaluates the deformability of tissues to help characterize lesions. It is widely used and has been validated in many tissues (e.g., liver, breast, thyroid). It is also used in the study of musculoskeletal disease. Although the use of elastography in musculoskeletal radiology is limited by the variability and heterogeneity of tissues, it is a very promising technique. In this article, we aim to review the usefulness, possible indications, limitations, and future perspectives of this technique in musculoskeletal radiology.

Resumen

La elastografía es una novedosa técnica de imagen basada en los ultrasonidos que valora la deformabilidad de los tejidos para ayudar a caracterizar las lesiones. Su uso está muy extendido y ha sido validada en muchos tejidos (hígado, mama, tiroides, etc.). También se aplica en el estudio de la patología musculoesquelética, aunque con limitaciones debido a la variabilidad y heterogeneidad de los tejidos; no obstante, es una técnica muy prometedora. En este artículo trataremos de revisar su utilidad, posibles indicaciones, limitaciones y perspectivas de futuro.
