Download scientific diagram | a B-mode image demonstrating a cervical length measurement. Cervical tissue is outlined with the dotted line. The endocervical canal is demonstrated with a solid line. Two contiguous segments are often used when the cervix is not straight. The cervical length on this patient is 37.1 mm, which is in the normal range. b Ultrasound images illustrating the assessment of cervical consistency index (CCI). The left image is without pressure applied to the cervix. The right image is with pressure applied to the cervix by the transducer. CCI = 26 mm/32.9 mm × 100 = 79%. A smaller CCI is consistent with a softer cervix. c Strain elastography makes conclusions regarding tissue stiffness through observing deformations caused by probe pressure. Each color represents the difference in compressibility relative to the adjacent area. Softer tissue appears red while firmer tissue is assigned to blue from publication: Evolving cervical imaging technologies to predict preterm birth | Preterm birth, defined as delivery at less than 37 weeks’ gestation, increases maternal-fetal morbidity and mortality and places heavy financial and emotional burdens on families and society.
