Learning objectives

This poster is to review the artifacts that are commonly identified when performing breast elastography both strain elastography and shear wave elastography imaging.  A review of the techniques for both strain elastography and shear wave elastography are presented along with the results of meta-analysis of both strain and shear wave elastography.

Teaching Points:

1. Artifacts in breast elastography are common and can lead to false positive and false negative results.

2. Recognizing breast elastography artifacts and knowing how to avoid them is critical for accurate breast lesion assessment.

3. Artifacts can occur both in strain elastography and shear wave elastography.

4 Performing both strain and shear wave elastography will help recognize artifacts.

5. Learn the optimal technique for both strain and shear wave elastography.
