Ultrasound elastography is a relatively new imaging technique that assesses the stiffness of tissue, offering another layer of information beyond traditional ultrasound. Since malignant tumors tend to be stiffer than benign ones, elastography can help in distinguishing between cancerous and non-cancerous lesions with greater accuracy. This non-invasive technology supports early and more precise detection, particularly in dense breast tissues where mammograms are less effective.
