The book Elastography - Current Insights and Applications aims to consolidate specific information and updates about elastography in general and abdominal pathologies specifically. The concept of elastography has been most widely explored for assessing liver fibrosis. However, multiple other domains, including focal liver lesions, endoscopic ultrasound elastography, and pancreatic elastography, are less explored. The book covers key concepts of bioethical principles, techniques, and recent updates on such areas of elastography in abdominal pathologies. We hope this book helps to enlighten the readers about these aspects of elastography.
