Overview
Brief Summary
This is a prospective, single-center, non-randomised, non-blinded trial with US Elastography of Patients referred to our institution to assess soft tissue and organ lesions. All patients will undergo next to the clinical indicated conventional US-examination, US Elastography after informed consent. After completion of these three examinations, the participation in the study is completed.
Detailed Description
The investigators propose UltraSound Elastography as an imaging method which allows for a better evaluation of soft tissue and organ lesions compared to the conventional US modalities used nowadays in the dayly clinical routine. This is a prospective, single-center, non-randomised, non-blinded trial with US Elastography of Patients referred to our institution to assess soft tissue and organ lesions. All patients will undergo next to the clinical indicated conventional US-examination, US Elastography after informed consent. After completion of these three examinations, the participation in the study is completed.
