Ultrasound quantitative characterization of tendinopathy with shear wave elastography in an ex vivo porcine tendon model
Tendon abnormality was quantitatively characterized using shear wave elastography in an ex vivo porcine experimental model. Shear wave speed was an accurate imaging biomarker for tendon health. Shear wave elastography was effective at detecting the extent of tendon damage. Tendons with decreased shear wave speed measurements rupture at smaller applied mechanical force.
