Role of shear wave elastography in predicting the metabolic and androgenic alterations in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome.

Based on the results of the present study, decreased SWE values appear to be associated with increased serum testosterone levels. However, the present study did not observe any significant relationship between the SWE values and metabolic parameters. SWE can be used as a practical and non-invasive method to predict the serum testosterone levels during the follow-up evaluations of the patients with PCOS.
