From times immemorial manual palpation served as a source of information on the state of
soft tissues and allowed detection of various diseases accompanied by changes in tissue …

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 …

Shear wave elastography (SWE) is an emerging technique which can obtain quantitative
elasticity values in breast disease. We therefore evaluated the diagnostic performance of …

This is the first book to provide a systematic exposition of promising techniques for the
reconstruction of small inhomogeneities from boundary measurements. In particular …

Recently biomechanics of cancer cells, in particular stiffness or elasticity, has been identified
as an important factor relating to cancer cell function, adherence, motility, transformation and …

All participants for image samplings provided written informed consent. Conventional B-
mode ultrasonography (US) has been widely utilized for musculoskeletal problems as a first …

Two main questions are at the center of this paper. The first one concerns the choice of a
rheological model in the frequency range of transient elastography, sonoelasticity or NMR …

MR elastography (MRE) enables the noninvasive determination of the viscoelastic behavior
of human internal organs based on their response to oscillatory shear stress. An experiment …

In this paper we evaluate tissue elasticity as a longstanding but qualitative biomarker for
prostate cancer and sonoelastography as an emerging imaging tool for providing qualitative …

To fix the bone in orthopedics, it is almost always necessary to use implants. Metals provide
the needed physical and mechanical properties for load-bearing applications. Although …
