The World Federation for Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology (WFUMB) has produced guidelines for the use of elastography techniques, including basic science, breast, liver and thyroid elastography. Here we present elastography in prostate diseases. For each available technique, procedure, reproducibility, results and limitations are analyzed and recommendations are given. Finally, recommendations are given based on the level of evidence of the published literature and on the WFUMB expert group's consensus. This document has a clinical perspective and is aimed at assessing the usefulness of elastography in the management of prostate diseases.
世界医学与生物学超声联合会(WFUMB)制定了弹性成像技术的使用指南,包括基础科学、乳腺、肝脏和甲状腺弹性成像。在此,我们介绍前列腺疾病中的弹性成像。针对每种可用技术,分析了操作程序、可重复性、结果及局限性,并给出了建议。最后,根据已发表文献的证据水平以及WFUMB专家组的共识给出建议。本文件具有临床视角,旨在评估弹性成像在前列腺疾病管理中的实用性。
