Naturally derived materials with hierarchical organization are attractive candidates for high-
performance and functional bionanocomposites because of their renewability …

The basic principles of using sonographic techniques for imaging the elastic properties of
tissues are described, with particular emphasis on elastography. After some preliminaries …

Shear wave elasticity imaging (SWEI) is a new approach to imaging and characterizing
tissue structures based on the use of shear acoustic waves remotely induced by the …

To evaluate the dynamic range of tissue imaged by elastography, the mechanical behavior
of breast and prostate tissue samples subject to compression loading has been investigated …

This paper presents an initial clinical evaluation of in vivo elastography for breast lesion
imaging using the concept of supersonic shear imaging. This technique is based on the …

A phase shift droplet emulsion is introduced as an aid to unusual ultrasound (US)
applications. The transpulmonary droplet emulsion (90%< 6 μm diameter) is made by mixing …

Elastography is a method that can ultimately generate several new kinds of images, called
elastograms. As such, all the properties of elastograms are different from the familiar …

Important tissue parameters such as elasticity can be deduced from the study of the
propagation of low frequency shear waves. A new method for measuring the shear velocity …

The propagation speed of shear waves is related to frequency and the complex stiffness
(shear elasticity and viscosity) of the medium. A method is presented to solve for shear …

In previous work, we have shown that time-resolved 2-D transient elastography is a
promising technique for characterizing the elasticity of soft tissues. It involves the …
