Abstract
Shear-Wave Elastography (SWE) has emerged as a promising non-invasive imaging technique for assessing the mechanical properties of tendons, particularly larger and more superficially located tendons of the body. Despite its potential, significant variability in SWE measurements exists due to differences in protocols, positioning, and equipment. Standardizing these factors, enhancing operator training, and reporting reliability metrics are crucial to improve the consistency and comparability of SWE data. This review aims to synthesize current knowledge and report on the existing practices in tendon SWE. By addressing the current challenges and variability, SWE has the potential to become a reliable tool for diagnosing and monitoring tendon pathologies, ultimately enhancing patient care and outcomes.
