Core Tip Elastography is a new ultrasound technique that allows the non-invasive assessment of tissue stiffness. Some elastographic techniques have already been validated and are widely used to evaluate liver stiffness in order to assess hepatic fibrosis and cirrhosis. Elastography is also useful in the diagnosis and characterization of different solid tumors. Considering that only a few studies have so far focused on the role of elastography in the evaluation of focal liver lesions, the present review aims to evaluate the role of real-time sonoelastography, strain elastography and ultrasound-based elastrographic techniques in the differential diagnosis and characterization of focal liver lesions.
