Ultrasound poroelastography aims at assessing the poroelastic behavior of biological
tissues via estimation of the local temporal axial strains and effective Poisson's ratios (EPR) …

Poroelastography has been recently introduced as a new elastographic technique that may
be used to describe the spatial and temporal behavior of poroelastic materials. The …

The feasibility of imaging the permeability and Poisson's ratio time-constant of porous media
was investigated. The study involved the following steps. First, poroelastograms were …

The quality of strain estimates in elastography is typically quantified by several quality
factors such as the elastographic signal-to-noise ratio, the elastographic contrast-to-noise …

Fluid pressure and fluid velocity carry important information for cancer diagnosis, prognosis
and treatment. Recent work has demonstrated that estimation of these parameters is …

Ultrasound elastography is a constantly developing imaging technique which is capable of
displaying the elastic properties of tissue. The measured characteristics could help to refine …

The feasibility of using elastography for experimentally estimating and imaging the Poisson's
ratio of porous media under drained and undrained conditions was investigated. Using …

The mechanical behavior of biological tissues has been studied using a number of
mechanical models. Due to the relatively high fluid content and mobility, many biological …

In the field of elastography, biological tissues are conveniently assumed to be purely elastic
solids. However, several tissues, including brain, cartilage and edematous soft tissues, have …

Objective: Vascular permeability (VP) is a mechanical parameter which plays an important
role in cancer initiation, metastasis, and progression. To date, there are only a few non …
