What Is Ultrasound Elastography?

The same clinical signal as MRI without the tube or the bill.

Standard ultrasound shows anatomy. Shear Wave Elastography goes further — it measures how stiff tissue is. Abnormal or cancerous tissue is typically firmer than healthy tissue surrounding it.

The Samsung RS85 Prestige applies a gentle mechanical impulse and tracks how fast the resulting wave travels through tissue. Stiffer areas carry waves faster — producing a real-time, color-coded stiffness map. Quantitative, precise, and immediately visible.

Non-invasive

No needles, no radiation, no contrast agents. The transducer rests gently on the skin. The entire exam takes approximately 15 minutes.

Open Table

Unlike MRI, there is no enclosed tube. Patients lie on an open, comfortable table. Ideal for those with claustrophobia or metal implants.

High fMRI Technology

Shear Wave Elastography achieves clinically comparable tissue characterization to MRI for prostate and breast evaluation, at a fraction of the time and cost.

Real-Time Tissue Mapping

Stiffness Maps That Show You the Answer

The RS85 Prestige creates a color-coded stiffness map of prostate and breast tissue in real time. Physicians can identify focal areas of concern during the exam — not days later.
  • Real-time quantitative stiffness measurements (kPa)
  • Color-coded tissue map — instantly readable
  • No radiation, no contrast, no enclosure
  • Comparable diagnostic signal to MRI elastography
  • Physician-reviewed, same visit

Why This Matters

Traditional imaging comes with costs that simply don't need to be.

MRI and PET-CT are powerful — but for many routine prostate and breast evaluations, they bring thousands of dollars in cost, weeks of waiting, and the stress of an enclosed tube. Most people are told this is the only way. It isn't.

Who May Benefit from This Screening

Helping identify the right patients for each screening program, with physician referral options available when appropriate.

Prostate Screening · For Men

Precision Prostate Evaluation

$350 Flat Fee · All Inclusive

For men with elevated PSA or MRI intolerance.Shear Wave Elastography maps prostate tissue stiffness in real time — helping physicians identify focal areas of concern that standard ultrasound may miss., without ever entering a tube.

Ideal for men who have

  • Elevated or rising PSA levels
  • Implants restricting MRI eligibility
  • Claustrophobia or MRI intolerance
  • Questions before considering biopsy

Breast Screening · For Women

Precision Breast Evaluation

$350 Flat Fee · All Inclusive

A non-compressive alternative or supplement to mammography — especially valuable for women with dense breast tissue. No compression, no radiation, no enclosed space. Real-time stiffness mapping on an open, comfortable table.

Ideal for women who have

  • Dense breast tissue or inconclusive mammogram
  • Preference for non-compressive imaging
  • Questions before considering biopsy
  • Need for faster scheduling
The Process

Your Elastography Screening

Book & Prepare

Call or fill out the form. Most appointments are available within 2–4 days. Minimal preparation required for either screening.

Scan & Map

Arrive at our private suite near 60th & Park. 15 minutes on an open table. The RS85 Prestige maps tissue stiffness in real time.

Receive Results

Preliminary physician insights available the same visit — not days or weeks later. A written summary can be provided to your physician.

What to Expect

What to Expect During Your Screening

1

Open Table, No Tube

You'll lie on a comfortable open table. No confinement, no loud MRI noises, no contrast injection required.

2

Gel Application & Scanning

A small amount of ultrasound gel is applied. The transducer is gently moved across the area — imaging is typically painless.

3

15 Minutes Total

The physician is present throughout and will guide you. Both prostate and breast screenings can be performed in the same visit.

4

Immediate Preliminary Insights

A technologist and physician review findings before you leave. Results can be communicated to your referring physician.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is ultrasound elastography?

Ultrasound elastography is an advanced imaging technique that measures tissue stiffness, which can help physicians identify abnormalities earlier. It uses sound waves and advanced software to create a color map of tissue properties.

Is radiation used during this exam?

No. Ultrasound elastography uses sound waves only, meaning there is no radiation exposure.

Is the exam painful?

No. The exam is non-invasive and comfortable. A small ultrasound probe is placed on the skin to capture images. There are no injections, no compression, and no enclosed MRI tube.

How long does the screening take?

The imaging portion typically takes about 15 minutes. Your full visit may take slightly longer for check-in and preparation.

Do I need a referral?

Some advanced imaging exams may require a physician referral under New York State guidelines. If needed, our clinical team can assist with coordination before your appointment.

How soon will I receive results?

A physician reviews your images after the exam. In many cases, preliminary insights may be available the same visit, with the official report provided shortly after.

Who should consider this screening?

This screening may benefit individuals interested in advanced preventive imaging, as well as those who want a quick evaluation without MRI, radiation, or long hospital wait times.

How much does the exam cost?

The screening is offered at a $350 flat fee, which includes the imaging exam and physician review. No insurance is required.

Where is the imaging center located?

Central Park Advanced Imaging is located in Midtown Manhattan near Park Avenue and 60th Street, offering a private imaging suite and convenient scheduling.

How quickly can I schedule an appointment?

Appointments are typically available within a few days, depending on availability.

Why choose this exam instead of MRI?

MRI can be expensive and time-consuming. Ultrasound elastography provides advanced tissue analysis in a quick, comfortable exam, often at a fraction of the cost.
