Abstract
Elastography visualizes differences in the biomechanical properties of normal and diseased tissues. Elastography was developed in the late 1980s to early 1990s to improve ultrasonic imaging, but the success of ultrasonic elastography has inspired investigators to develop analogs based on MRI and optical coherence tomography. This article focuses on ultrasonic techniques with a brief reference to approaches based on MRI.
