Real-time Tissue ElastographyStrain Ratio Measurement
The strain ratio measurement allows you to use an Elasto mode image to measure the “strain” and “compare the strain”.
For the breast, setting the ROI as shown in the left figure allows you to estimate the strain in both the fat and lesion regions and then calculate the FLR, or the fat-lesion ratio.
* The strain is expressed as a percentage (%). For example, if a 100-mm object has a strain of 1 mm, the strain is expressed as 1%.
