Influence of the physical pressure of an ultrasound probe on shear-wave elastography measurements of the gastrocnemius muscle in a paediatric population: a non-interventional cohort study.

The authors found that while the difference of mean stiffness did not reach statistical significance, there was a decrease of SWE reliability from good (ICC = 0.83) for minimal probe pressure to moderate (ICC = 0.62) for the standoff gel method.
