Point shear wave elastography(pSWE) [is] dependent on the dynamic stress [of acoustic radiation force impulse, and] focuses on a single focal location... pSWE utilizes B-mode [brightness mode] ultrasound to directly visualize and select the region of interest... pSWE can easily be performed on a conventional ultrasound machine... with no need for any special probe or machinery, but it does not have the ability to showcase images of tissue stiffness. 3, record 1, English, - point%20shear%20wave%20elastography
