Abstract
Ultrasound Elastography is a new imaging technique based on estimation of the elastic properties of tissues and differentiating between benign and malignant prostatic lesions through the difference in tissue stiffness. Many studies have been performed to determine whether adding Elastography to conventional ultrasound is valuable or not. Results proved high specificity of elastography compared to conventional ultrasound which may decrease the number of unnecessary biopsies. Elastography is performed in the same clinical setting with conventional B-mode ultrasonography. Images are produced prior to and post slight axial compression with the ultrasound probe, then images are displayed either by the lesion size comparison method or the color coding method
