摘要:
Objectives: To quantitatively assess the quality of the urethral rhabdosphincter muscle by measuring its shear wave velocity (Vs) and calculating the Young modulus (E) with supersonic shear wave imaging (SSI). Methods: This was a prospective study of 43 women with SUI and 52 female control participants who underwent a transperineal US examination with SSI. Supersonic shear wave imaging was performed at rest with a linear transducer and a specialized-preset procedure. The stability and validity of the shear waves were automatically assessed by t...
