Ultrasound (US) and shear\u2010wave elastography (SWE) assess tissue stiffness, while deformation\u2010based tools (Elastimeter, MyotonPRO) provide accessible alternatives, though their reliability and agreement are unclear. This study evaluated (1) intra\u2010 and interrater reliability of US, SWE, MyotonPRO and Elastimeter for measuring tissue thickness, composition and stiffness, and (2) correlations between SWE and deformation\u2010based tools.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Thirty breast cancer survivors were assessed at four pectoralis major regions on affected and non\u2010affected sides. Skin, fat and muscle thickness, muscle composition, and stiffness were measured using US and SWE (MACH 30), with additional stiffness measures from MyotonPRO and Elastimeter. Three assessors performed repeated sessions. Reliability was analysed using ICC(3,1), SEM, %SEM, and SRD.
