Elastography shows the spatial distribution of tissue elasticity properties in a region of interest by estimating the strain before and after tissue distortion caused by external or internal forces.

The strain estimation is filtered and scaled to provide a smooth presentation when displayed. Elastography displays firmer tissue in blue and softer tissue in red.

A quality indicator in the form of a bar or a graph provides visual feedback to monitor the compression technique and helps make elastography reproducible and easy to learn.
