Shear wave elastography (SWE) is a novel qualitative method to study mechanical changes in tissue. n this study, we aim to assess the role of SWE in diagnosing and staining of the disease.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Material and methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A total of 124 wrists were included in the study. Seventy wrists had CTS, and 54 were included as the control group. All of the wrists with CTS had staging done with nerve conduction study. All patients underwent ultrasonography by an expert radiologist and had the SWE and cross-section of the median nerve determined. These values were compared among the 2 groups and different stages of CTS. The receiver operating characteristic curve was utilized to assess the diagnostic role of each of the variables.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Cross-section area (CSA) and SWE were significantly different between the 2 groups (p = 0.0001).
