Ultrasound elastography has been developed as a modality that provides novel diagnostic
information on tissue stiffness and replaces conventional palpation used for breast …

Ultrasound shear wave elastography (SWE) utilizes the propagation of induced shear waves
to characterize the shear modulus of soft tissue. Many methods rely on an acoustic radiation …

Magnetic resonance elastography and related shear wave ultrasound elastography
techniques can be used to estimate the mechanical properties of soft tissues in vivo by using …

Abstract Changes in tissue elasticity are generally correlated with its pathological state. In
many cases, despite the difference in elasticity, the small size of a lesion or its location deep …

Objectives To investigate consistency in shear wave velocities (SWVs) on ultrasound
elastography using different machines, transducers and acquisition depths. Methods The …

Elastography is a new ultrasonic imaging technique that produces images (elastograms) of
the elastic properties of compliant tissue. To determine the Young's modulus it is necessary …

In the past decade, an important field that has emerged as complementary to ultrasonic
imaging is that of elasticity imaging. The term encompasses a variety of techniques that can …

This article presents possible applications of ultrasound elastography in musculoskeletal
imaging based on the available literature, as well as the possibility of extending indications …

A pilot study was carried out to investigate the performance of ultrasound stiffness imaging
methods namely Ultrasound Elastography Imaging (UEI) and Acoustic Radiation Force …

This paper presents a theoretical framework for performance characterization in strain
estimation, which includes the effect of signal decorrelation, quantization errors due to the …
