Ultrasound elastography is widely used to assess tissue stiffness for lesion characterization, including differentiation between benign and malignant lesions. This study focuses on the use of elastography in the male pelvis, including the prostate, testicles, and rectum, by comparing elastography types (shear wave and strain). This article provides a summary of the existing literature on the use of elastography in the male pelvic region and outlines the clinical perspective. Ultrasound elastography is a good technique for evaluating and monitoring lesions in the male pelvic region.
超声弹性成像被广泛用于评估组织硬度以进行病变特征描述，包括鉴别良性和恶性病变。本研究聚焦于弹性成像在男性盆腔（包括前列腺、睾丸和直肠）中的应用，通过比较不同类型的弹性成像（剪切波弹性成像和应变弹性成像）。本文总结了弹性成像在男性盆腔区域应用的现有文献，并概述了临床前景。超声弹性成像是评估和监测男性盆腔区域病变的一种良好技术。
