Fig. 2

Example of a shear wave elastography image of Tunica Albuginea (TA) including quantitative measurement data expressed in kilopascal (kPa) in a patient with Peyronie's Disease (PD) (case group). The elastosonography mode simultaneously provides two images of the same area: The left image is in US—B—mode while on the right image is simultaneously displayed for stiffness measurement. The yellow box indicates the region of interest (ROI) observed in the shear wave elastography image, and the yellow circles indicate the intensity of the stiffness expressed values in kPa. In addition, the software provides a colorimetry map of the stiffness of the ROI. In particular, the red color indicates high stiffness while the blue color indicates lower stiffness. TA: tunica albuginea; kPa: kilopascal; PD: Peyronie’s Disease US: ultrasound; ROI: region of interest
