Shear wave elastography was performed to assess placental elasticity. Both mean (average) and maximum elasticity values were recorded and cutoff values were determined using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis to evaluate their potential in predicting preeclampsia.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Placental elasticity values were significantly higher in preeclamptic women (group A) compared with healthy pregnant women (group B). The mean elasticity in group A was 15.74\u2009\u00b1\u20093.51 kPa, with a maximum elasticity of 27.4\u2009\u00b1\u20094.66 kPa; whereas in group B, the corresponding values were 4.42\u2009\u00b1\u20091.93 and 7.13\u2009\u00b1\u20093.05 kPa, respectively (p\u2009&lt;\u20090.0001). In preeclampsia cases, the shear wave modulus was higher in the central region of the placenta than at the edges. ROC curve analysis evaluated a mean elasticity cutoff value of 8.1 kPa, with a sensitivity of 100%, specificity of 96.67%, positive predictive value of 96.8%, negative predictive value of 100%, and a diagnostic accuracy of 98.33%.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>The study revealed significant differences in placental elasticity between preeclamptic and healthy pregnancies, highlighting the potential of shear wave elastography as a valuable tool for early prediction of preeclampsia. Early prediction using this method could significantly reduce maternal and perinatal mortality and morbidity, especially in developing countries, by identifying cases before the onset of clinical symptoms.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0045-1809683","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,6,19]],"date-time":"2025-06-19T18:36:21Z","timestamp":1750358181000},"page":"216-223","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["2D Shear Wave Elastography: An Evolving Technique for Comparison of Placental Elasticity in Normal and Preeclamptic Pregnancy"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"36","author":[{"given":"Ritika","family":"Sihmar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiodiagnosis, Atal Bihari Vajpayee Institute of Medical Sciences and Dr. Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital, New Delhi, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shahina","family":"Bano","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Radiodiagnosis, Atal Bihari Vajpayee Institute of Medical Sciences and Dr. Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital, New Delhi, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Renuka","family":"Malik","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology, Atal Bihari Vajpayee Institute of Medical Sciences and Dr. Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital, New Delhi, India"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"194","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,6,19]]},"reference":[{"issue":"05","key":"ref1","first-page":"402","article-title":"Pregnancy-induced hypertension and perinatal mortality","volume":"52","author":"X Xiong","year":"2007","journal-title":"J Reprod Med"},{"issue":"02","key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"105","DOI":"10.4103\/JME.JME_168_20","article-title":"Prevalence of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy in India a systematic review and meta-analysis","volume":"2","author":"M Dhinwa","year":"2021","journal-title":"J Med Evid"},{"issue":"03","key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"628","DOI":"10.1097\/AOG.0000000000000696","article-title":"Risk of fetal death with preeclampsia","volume":"125","author":"Q E Harmon","year":"2015","journal-title":"Obstet Gynecol"},{"key":"ref4","first-page":"189","volume-title":"Tests to predict preeclampsia.
