Clinical Coordination & Referral Support
Some advanced imaging programs require a referral under New York State guidelines. Our on-site licensed clinical team is available to assist with appropriate evaluation and care coordination prior to imaging, ensuring a smooth and responsible experience.
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.
No needles, no radiation, no contrast agents. The transducer rests gently on the skin. The entire exam takes approximately 15 minutes.
Unlike MRI, there is no enclosed tube. Patients lie on an open, comfortable table. Ideal for those with claustrophobia or metal implants.
Shear Wave Elastography achieves clinically comparable tissue characterization to MRI for prostate and breast evaluation, at a fraction of the time and cost.
Stiffness Maps That Show You the Answer
- 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
Traditional imaging comes with costs that simply don't need to be.
No radiation exposure
No compression or enclosure
Real-time tissue stiffness mapping
Ideal for MRI-intolerant patients

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
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 During Your Screening
Open Table, No Tube
You'll lie on a comfortable open table. No confinement, no loud MRI noises, no contrast injection required.
Gel Application & Scanning
A small amount of ultrasound gel is applied. The transducer is gently moved across the area — imaging is typically painless.

Frequently Asked Questions
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.
No. Ultrasound elastography uses sound waves only, meaning there is no radiation exposure.
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.
The imaging portion typically takes about 15 minutes. Your full visit may take slightly longer for check-in and preparation.
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.
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.
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.
The screening is offered at a $350 flat fee, which includes the imaging exam and physician review. No insurance is required.
Central Park Advanced Imaging is located in Midtown Manhattan near Park Avenue and 60th Street, offering a private imaging suite and convenient scheduling.
Appointments are typically available within a few days, depending on availability.
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.
