Measurement of shear wave speed dispersion in the placenta by transient elastography: A preliminary ex vivo study.

Placental elasticity may be modified in women with placental insufficiency. Shear wave elastography (SWE) can measure this, using acoustic radiation force, but the safety of its use in pregnant women has not yet been demonstrated. Transient elastography (TE) is a safer alternative, but has not yet b...
