2D shear wave elastography for the assessment of quadriceps entheses-a methodological study

ObjectiveTo establish the scanning protocol for 2-dimensional shear wave elastography (SWE) on normal entheses by investigating the possible confounding factors that may increase the variability of measured elasticity.Material and methods30 normal quadriceps entheses were scanned using SWE to compar...

The median SWV was higher in the knee flexion position than in the extended position (p < 0.001). Increased knee flexion led to stiffer quadriceps enthesis and higher SWV (& rho; = 0.8, p < 0.001). The median SWV was higher when the diameter region of interest was 4.0 mm than 2.0 mm (p = 0.001). The median SWV was higher in the transverse plane than in the longitudinal plane (p < 0.001). Strong correlation was found between SWV and the degree of the shear wave to muscle fiber direction (& rho; = 0.8, p < 0.001). The coefficient variation was lower in a gel thickness of 2.5 cm, with an extended knee, a region of interest of 2.0 mm, and a longitudinal plane (p > 0.05). For interobserver reliability for the proposed protocol, the intraclass correlation coefficients was 0.763.ConclusionIn this study, we determined supine position with the knee extended; using 2.0 mm diameter region of interest and image acquisition at the longitudinal plane with thicker layer coupling gel seems most appropriate to reliably image healthy quadriceps entheses with SWE.
