The purpose of this work was to develop magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) for the
fast and reproducible measurement of spatially averaged viscoelastic constants of living …

The noninvasive estimation of in vivo mechanical properties of cornea is envisioned to find
several applications in ophthalmology. Such high-resolution measurements of local cornea …

Objectives To evaluate whether real‐time elastography, a new, non‐invasive method for the
diagnosis of breast cancer, improves the differentiation and characterization of benign and …

RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: Initial data suggest that elastography can improve the
specificity of ultrasound in differentiating benign and malignant breast lesions. The aim of …

Elastography has emerged as a useful adjunct tool for ultrasound diagnosis. Elastograms
are images of tissue stiffness and may be in color, grayscale, or a combination of the two …

BACKGROUND & AIMS: By using strain assessment, real-time endoscopic ultrasound
(EUS) elastography provides additional information about a lesion's characteristics in the …

A macrophage engulfs another cell or foreign particle in an adhesive process that often
activates myosin-II, unless the macrophage also engages “marker of self” CD47 that inhibits …

BACKGROUND: Differential diagnosis of solid pancreatic masses remains a challenge. EUS
elastography, by analyzing tissue stiffness of the mass, may be of help in this setting …

The assessment of viscoelastic properties of soft tissues is enjoying a growing interest in the
field of medical imaging as pathologies are often correlated with a local change of stiffness …

Shear wave imaging was evaluated for the in vivo assessment of myocardial biomechanical
properties on ten open chest sheep. The use of dedicated ultrasonic sequences …
