Why Elastography

Elastography is an advanced ultrasound technique that measures tissue stiffness and elasticity by applying light pressure and analysing sound wave response. At Epoch, this technology enhances standard ultrasound by revealing changes invisible to conventional imaging — supporting earlier diagnosis, better treatment planning and more confident clinical decisions.

Non-Invasive
and Painless

No needles, no radiation, no contrast dye — just sound waves and light pressure.

Detects Invisible
Tissue Changes

Identifies fibrosis, tumours and disease that standard ultrasound alone may miss.

Enhanced Diagnostic
Precision

Combined with standard ultrasound for a more complete and accurate clinical picture.

Book Your Elastography Scan

Ultrasounds at Epoch Medical Imaging are primarily appointment-based to ensure the best care and preparation for each patient. However, urgent bookings can often be accommodated promptly, and our wait times are typically minimal. Our team works hard to provide timely imaging services to meet your medical needs efficiently.

Elastography Scan Services

Epoch offers a full range of ultrasound imaging including abdominal, pelvic, obstetric, vascular, musculoskeletal, thyroid and guided procedures.

Liver Assessment

Measures liver tissue stiffness to detect fibrosis, fatty liver disease and cirrhosis at early stages, reducing the need for invasive biopsy.

Liver Health Made Visible

Breast Elastography

A standard breast ultrasound provides excellent information about the size, shape, borders, and internal characteristics of any finding within the breast.

Stiffness Tells The Story

Thyroid Nodules

Evaluates the elasticity of thyroid nodules to support accurate characterisation, guiding clinical decisions on monitoring, biopsy or further

Precise Nodule Characterisation

Musculoskeletal Stiffness

Measures muscle and soft tissue elasticity to assess injury, inflammation and chronic conditions for targeted rehabilitation and treatment planning.

FAQ

Elastography is an advanced ultrasound technique that measures how stiff or elastic body tissues are. It helps detect changes such as fibrosis, tumours, or liver disease that may not show up on a regular ultrasound.

A standard ultrasound shows the structure of tissues and organs, while elastography provides extra information about how soft or stiff those tissues are. This helps your doctor detect early signs of disease and monitor changes over time.

No. Elastography is completely non-invasive and painless. It uses sound waves and light pressure on the skin to measure tissue stiffness without the need for needles, dyes, or radiation.

Elastography is commonly used to assess liver health, including conditions like fatty liver and fibrosis. It can also assist in evaluating tumours, thyroid nodules, and muscle stiffness.

Preparation depends on the area being scanned. For liver elastography, you may be asked to fast overnight before your appointment. Our team will give you clear instructions when you book.

Most elastography scans take up to 30 minutes, depending on the area being examined. You can return to your normal activities straight after the test.
