Tomoelastography (from ancient Greek τόμος tomos, “slice” and elastography – imaging of viscoelastic properties) is a medical imaging technique that provides quantitative maps of the mechanical properties of biological soft tissues with high spatial resolution (called elastograms). It is an advancement of elastography in that it generates unmasked maps of stiffness and viscosity across the entire field of view that can be captured with a given imaging modality.
