Freehand scanning improves on elasticity ultrasound imaging
A group of researchers has developed a new technique for elasticity ultrasound breast imaging that uses freehand scanning rather than mechanical compression. The group believes that the technique produces excellent images without patient discomfort and without the need for additional motorized components to be added to the scanner.
