To determine the elastographic patterns of different brain tumor types and establish differences between their peritumoral regions
We objectively described the elastographic patterns of different types of brain tumors. We identified differences in both the tumors and peritumoral areas according to histologic types
To describe the first large-scale implementation of strain elastography (SE) in oncological neurosurgery for lesions discrimination and characterization
SE allows clinicians to understand the mechanical properties of the brain and lesions during examination and permits better discrimination between different tissues compared to B-mode. Additionally, SE can differentiate between LGG and HGG
To characterize elasticity of the normal brain parenchyma and brain tumors using shear-wave elastography (SWE)
Significant differences in elasticity were observed among the most common types of brain tumors. With intraoperative SWE, neurosurgeons may acquire innovative information to establish a diagnosis and guide resection
