Abstract

Real-time elastography visualizes tissue compliance using an ultrasound platform. Elastography has been used, particularly in the breast, to characterize indeterminate lesions on B-mode imaging as either benign or malignant. The primary aim of this study was to assess the feasibility of routine endorectal elastography to evaluate rectal neoplasia. The secondary aim was to correlate elastography data with histopathological end-points.
