WARNING
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
• Do not perform the biopsy during pressurization of the human tissue in Elastography-mode. There is a risk of scar-
ring the patient.
• Examinations by elastography should be performed by trained persons with su󰀩cient knowledge and skills.

Strain elastography techniques are used in Elastography-mode. The image is generated from the strain caused by
the uniform pressure of the transducer on the tissue. The color elastic image will be displayed superimposed over
the ROI for elastography on the B image.
This function works with L18-4, L11-3 and WL13-3 transducers.
Requires the optional "Strain Elastography License."
