Safety of Shear Wave Elastography as Evidenced From Carotid Artery Strain and Strain Rate Induced by Acoustic Radiation Force Impulse and Arterial Pulsations
Our results indicate that arterial SWE does not expose the arterial wall to any higher strain or strain rate than is experienced during normal arterial pulsation. Further research is required to validate the results in arteries containing vulnerable plaques.
