Testing the Reliability of a Procedure Using Shear-Wave Elastography for Measuring Longus Colli Muscle Stiffness
A standardized SWE workflow yields reproducible LC stiffness measurements in mechanical neck pain. For longitudinal use, keep a single operator when feasible; in multi-examiner settings, average at least two acquisitions per side to enhance sensitivity to true change.
