Elastography researchers have utilized several rheological models to characterize soft
tissue viscoelasticity over the past thirty years. Due to the frequency-dependent behavior of …

Mechanobiology is a rapidly emerging field focused on the biological impact of physical
forces at the molecular, cellular, and tissue level. Living cells perceive mechanical cues and …

Ultrasound phantoms mimic the acoustic and mechanical properties of native tissues.
Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) phantoms are used extensively as models for validating ultrasound …

Purpose The aim of the study was to test inter‐observer and intra‐observer reliability of
measuring multiparametric ultrasound in adult livers. Methods We prospectively measured …

Purpose The aim of the study was to test the reproducibility of performing conventional point
shear wave elastography (pSWE), auto-pSWE, and ultrasound derived fat fraction (UDFF) in …

Purpose The effect of hepatic fibrosis stage on quantitative ultrasound based on the
attenuation coefficient (AC) for liver lipid quantification is controversial. The objective of this …

A framework is developed for estimating the volume fraction of fat in steatotic livers from
viscoelastic measures of shear wave speed and attenuation. These measures are emerging …

The utilization of a reverberant shear-wave field in shear-wave elastography has emerged
as a promising technique for achieving robust shear-wave speed (SWS) estimation …
