Siemens Healthcare 's Tissue strain analytics complements conventional ultrasound exams by providing an extra dimension of information--mechanical stiffness.

third-dimension-of-ultrasound-technologyTissue strain analytics comprises a suite of applications offering a new dimension of information in ultrasound: Virtual Touch Tissue Quantification and Virtual Touch Tissue Imaging provide visual and numerical data not available using conventional sonographic imaging. Using sound waves, Virtual Touch Tissue Imaging and Virtual Touch Tissue Quantification are strain imaging applications that depict, evaluate, and measure the mechanical stiffness properties of tissue. An increase is often associated with pathology. An ultrasound push pulse is applied to a defined region of interest and the relative displacement of the tissue can be calculated.

Virtual Touch applications together with conventional sonographic scans may enable physicians to avoid unnecessary biopsies.
