In recent years, a new technique of elastic quantization imaging, the ultrasound-based shear wave elastography (SWE) is arising, which has advantages of real-time, non-invasion, rapid imaging and strong repeatability, and quantifying the elastic properties of soft tissues including thyroid gland, breast, prostate, muscle tendon, ligament, etc.. It has been gradually applied to clinical and experimental researches of acupuncture and has an extensive application prospect. The present paper briefly introduces the application of SWE in accurately locating the acupoint, Deqi from needled acupoints, acupuncture manipulations, and evaluation of efficacy of acupuncture in the treatment of musculofascial diseases.
近些年兴起的剪切波弹性成像技术具有实时、无创、成像快速、可重复性强的优势，还可进行组织弹性定量，逐渐被用于针刺的临床及实验研究，应用前景广阔。本文就剪切波弹性成像技术在穴位精准定位、穴位得气、针刺手法研究、针刺治疗肌肉筋膜疾病的疗效评估等方面应用进行简要概述。.
