Ultrasound and Magnetic Resonance Elastography of the Neck: Biomechanical Basis, Clinical Applications and Methodological Challenges
Many neck disorders, from chronic neck pain and headache to thyroid and nodal malignancy and radiation-induced fibrosis, both arise from and alter the mechanical properties of neck tissues, yet clinical assessment still relies on morphology, palpation and symptoms. Ultrasound and magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) n...
