Revolutionizing Fibrosis Imaging: Unveiling Shear Wave Elastography for Small Animal Imaging

This is a recording of a LIVE webinar presented by Kristiina Aasa, PhD, Product Marketing Manager and Izzie Newsome, PhD, Scientific Applications Specialist from FUJIFILM VisualSonics, presented on Thursday, November 21, 2024.

Join us as we share an all-new imaging mode on the Vevo F2 Imaging System: Shear Wave Elastography Mode! Elastography is an established method for visualizing and assessing liver fibrosis and tissue stiffness in the clinic. This powerful tool is now available at high frequency, specifically optimized for small animal imaging.

During this session we will:

  • Describe Shear Wave Elastography
  • Discuss the value of Elastography in the clinic, and preclinically
  • Showcase Elastography with live imaging of a mouse liver
  • Share images of normal vs fibrotic livers
  • Live Q&A
