BS EN IEC 63412-1:2024

Ultrasonics. Shear-wave elastography. Specifications for the user interface | Status: Current

1 Scope This part of IEC 63412 specifies quantities and parameters which it is essential to provide to the user of shear-wave elastography systems, many in the image headers. This document is applicable to medical, diagnostic, ultrasonic shear-wave elastography systems, exciting (internally or externally) shear waves and tracking their propagation within biological tissue.

NOTE This document focuses on liver applications of shear-wave elastography but does not exclude its application to other organs (e.g. breast, thyroid, prostate, kidney, muscle).
