Mapping tendon stiffness: Two-dimensional versus point shear wave elastography
This is the first study to evaluate and compare pSWE and 2D-SWE in the assessment of patellar tendon stiffness. These findings could have important implications for the clinical use of musculoskeletal SWE, providing insights into measurement time, reliability, and the potential benefits of using 2D-SWE in clinical practice.
