2D Shear Wave Elastography: An Evolving Technique for Comparison of Placental Elasticity in Normal and Preeclamptic Pregnancy

The study revealed significant differences in placental elasticity between preeclamptic and healthy pregnancies, highlighting the potential of shear wave elastography as a valuable tool for early prediction of preeclampsia. Early prediction using this method could significantly reduce maternal and perinatal mortality and morbidity, especially in developing countries, by identifying cases before the onset of clinical symptoms.
