SWE question and a request for Marilyn's TUSL Worksheet

SWE question and a request for Marilyn's TUSL Worksheet

    Hi Catherine,

    thanks for your comments and questions.

    You are correct in your assumption - sampling in the parallel lines trumps the elastogram.  As you say this is because the elastogram is reflective of the scale and so can be multicoloured due to vessels, scale, etc etc.

    The ROI can be adjusted in size from 10 to a minimum 5 mm if required.

    I've attached our TUSL worksheet - we have now moved to Sonoreview so our updated one has drop down options.

    I've also attached the short Powerpoint that I put together for my ASA SWE workshop this year.

    It has a few dedicated technique slides and in particular, Slides 13 & 14 show the importance of having a straight probe, straight liver capsule, straight elastogram box.  This was a slide shared by Dr Richard Barr from the USA at WFUMB 2025 in Kyoto.  I loved it so I reproduced it for my talk.

     Hope this all helps,

    Marilyn
