Comparative Analysis of the Elastography Technologies in Ultrasonic Diagnostic Devices Using Elastography Phantom
Abstract
Our goal in current work is to compare existing elastography technologies, provided by different ultrasound diagnostic devices manufacturers. The domestic technology «Elastografica», developed by authors also participated in the comparison. Every device that took part in the comparison was tested with the same masses of breast elastography phantom. We focused on evaluating physical properties of investigated objects.
