Shear wave elastography is a novel technique enabling real-time measurement of the elasticity of liver tissue. The color map is superimposed on the classic ultrasound image of the assessed tissue, which enables a precise evaluation of the stiffness of the liver tissue. The aim of the study was to assess the stiffness of normal liver tissue in the guinea pig using shear wave elastography. The study was carried out on 36 guinea pigs using the SuperSonic Imagine Aixplorer scanner, and a 1 to 6 MH convex SC6-1 transducer. An ultrasound guided Try-Cut liver core needle biopsy was carried out in all the studied animals and the collected samples were examined to exclude pathological lesions. The mean liver tissue stiffness ranged from 0.89 to 5.40 kPa. We found that shear wave elastography is an easy, non-invasive technique that can be used to assess the stiffness of liver tissue. The obtained results can be used in future studies to assess the types and changes of liver tissue in the course of various types of liver disease.
剪切波弹性成像技术是一种能够实时测量肝组织弹性的新技术。彩色图谱叠加在被评估组织的经典超声图像上，这使得能够精确评估肝组织的硬度。本研究的目的是使用剪切波弹性成像技术评估豚鼠正常肝组织的硬度。本研究使用Supersonic Imagine Aixplorer扫描仪和1至6兆赫的凸阵SC6 - 1探头对36只豚鼠进行。对所有研究动物进行超声引导下的经皮肝穿刺活检，并对采集的样本进行检查以排除病理性病变。肝组织平均硬度范围为0.89至5.40千帕。我们发现剪切波弹性成像技术是一种简单、非侵入性的技术，可用于评估肝组织的硬度。所得结果可用于未来研究，以评估各种肝病过程中肝组织的类型和变化。
