Today I've learned that elastography is a field of medical imaging that focuses on the stiffness or softness of tissues.

I might want to learn even more about it because I always have problems with my tissues and doctors fail to help me.

I'm hoping this is a step closer to being able to image connective tissues too. But being able to diagnose muscle tears and such would also be pretty helpful.

Hard to stay healthy when your range of motion is impaired.

MRI and US already do. It’s just not often helpful, because damage doesn’t need to be grossly visible and because we can’t do much for it regardless.
