Shear wave elastography evaluation of a benign small cervical lymph nodes (sCLN) biopsy-proven. Shear wave elastography covered the entire target sCLNs and a small amount of surrounding tissue. The shear wave elastography image (up) is presented simultaneously with the gray-scale ultrasound image (below) on the same screen. The node and surrounding tissue exhibited a relatively homogeneous blue color elasticity signal. A 3 mm-diameter Q-box was placed in the node, and the shear elasticity indices of the stiffest region are as follows: Emin (Minimum elasticity values) = 5.2 kPa, Emax (Maximum elasticity values) = 22.4 kPa, and Emean (Mean elasticity values) = 14.2 kPa.
