Typical upper limb muscles of 24 men were also assessed for this comparison.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>At superficial depths (0\u20132\u00a0cm), the phantom measurements obtained using CD SWI and SWE were similar at all levels of stiffness. Furthermore, both methods were highly reliable, with almost perfect intra- and inter-operator reliabilities. At greater depths (2\u20134\u00a0cm), measurements obtained using both methods were similar at all stiffness levels. Although standard deviations (SDs) of the phantom measurements obtained using both methods at lower stiffness were similar, those at higher stiffness were different. The SD of the CD SWI measurements was\u2009&lt;\u200950% of that of the SWE measurements. However, both methods were highly reliable in the phantom test, with almost perfect intra- and inter-operator reliabilities. The intra- and inter-operator reliabilities of the shear wave velocity measurements for typical muscles of the upper limbs were also substantial in clinical settings.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>CD SWI is a valid method for measuring elasticity, with precision and reliability as high as those of SWE.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Graphical abstract<\/jats:title>\n                \n              <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1007\/s40477-023-00795-3","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,21]],"date-time":"2023-06-21T04:19:19Z","timestamp":1687321159000},"page":"51-59","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Evaluation of skeletal muscle elasticity using color Doppler shear wave imaging"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"27","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9605-135X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yuji","family":"Kanaya","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2785-3102","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kei","family":"Konno","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1009-9812","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yoshiki","family":"Yamakoshi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Nobuyuki","family":"Taniguchi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Hideaki","family":"Watanabe","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8470-4555","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Katsushi","family":"Takeshita","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,6,21]]},"reference":[{"key":"795_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"145","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1751-2980.2009.00377.x","volume":"10","author":"R Takemoto","year":"2009","unstructured":"Takemoto R, Nakamura M, Aoyagi Y et al (2009) Validity of fibroscan values for predicting hepatic fibrosis stage in patients with chronic HCV infection.
