Sonoelastography in the musculoskeletal system: Current role and future directions

Figure 7 Pleomorphic sarcoma of the distal thigh. Transverse B mode image with colour Doppler (A) shows a disorganised tumour with wide variation in echotexture and limited Doppler flow. The shear wave velocity elastogram (B) also shows a wide variation in stiffness with some regions of absent measurements, seen as the black areas on the image (arrow), possibly owing to the very dense/stiff nature of the tumour. The axial proton density fat suppressed magnetic resonance image (C) shows a large tumour in the anterior compartment of the thigh with very varied signal.
