This assessment may inform the risks of preterm birth and failed induction of labor. However, there is considerable variation in the approaches to strain elastography, including the placement of the region of interest (ROI).

Similarly, an increased angle between the ROI and probe-centerline resulted in a 59% decrease for 40\u00b0 angle. Interposition of soft tissue (e.g., cervical canal) between the ROI and the probe induced an artifact with values from the posterior lip being 54% lower than those from the anterior lip, even after adjusting for probe-ROI distance.
