Correlation of Ultrasound Shear Wave Elastography with Pathological Analysis in a Xenografic Tumour Model

Abstract The objective of this study was to evaluate the potential value of ultrasound (US) shear wave elastography (SWE) in assessing the relative change in elastic modulus in colorectal adenocarcinoma xenograft models in vivo and investigate any correlation with histological analysis. We sought to...
