Transient Elastography Device Market Volume Analysis, size, share and Key Trends 2016-2026
Verfasser: yogesh on Monday, 16 January 2017Elastography is a medical imaging technique, like ultrasound and MRI, which is used to detect whether the tissue is hard or soft, depending on which the part is affected or stage of any disease can be determined. Transient elastography is a non – invasive test usually done to detect liver fibrosis. Liver fibrosis or stestosis is stiffening of liver which is an indication for condition such as cirrhosis and hepatitis. Transient elastography is a technique which works on the principle of measuring the shear wave velocity and provides one dimensional image of the tissue. In this the wave passes through the tissue which creates a distortion in the tissue. An image is created due to motion of the tissues which determines the condition of the tissue. The transient elastography device uses ultrasound waves of 5 MHz and low frequency elastic waves of 50 Hz, whose velocity is directly related to elasticity. Transient elastography measures the stiffness of liver in volume which is approximately like a cylinder, 1 cm wide and 4 cm long, 25 – 65 mm just below the skin. The volume measured by transient elastography technique is 100 times bigger than a biopsy sample and is more accurate.
