L'élastographie est une technique d'imagerie de l'élasticité (le module d'Young) des tissus biologiques. Elle constitue une approche quantitative d'une pratique médicale très répandue : la palpation. Cette dernière permet de détecter la présence de tumeurs qui sont en général beaucoup plus dures que les tissus sains.
