This review aimed to describe the state of the art in muscle-tendon unit (MTU) assessment
by supersonic shear wave imaging (SSI) elastography in states of muscle contraction and …

Background and aims Transient elastography is a novel noninvasive method to assess liver
fibrosis by measuring liver stiffness. This study is a first step toward the provision of a …

Ultrasound elastography is an emerging set of imaging modalities used to image tissue
elasticity and are often referred to as virtual palpation. These techniques have proven …

Cells sense stiffness of surrounding tissues and adapt their activity, proliferation, motility and
mechanical properties based on such interactions. Cells probe the stiffness of the substrate …

In this paper, we analyze the physical basis for elasticity imaging of the breast by measuring
breast skin stress patterns that result from a force sensor array pressed against the breast …

Ziel: Ultraschall-Elastographie ist ein neues bildgebendes Verfahren, welches die
Rekonstruktion der Elastizitätsverteilung erlaubt, indem es den Unterschied in der Festigkeit …

High frame rate (HFR) imaging methods based on the transmission of defocused or plane
waves rather than focused beams are increasingly popular. However, the production of HFR …

Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) elastography is an imaging procedure used for the
visualization of tissue elasticity during usual EUS examinations. EUS elastography can be …

Imaging systems are most effective for detection and classification when they exploit contrast
mechanisms specific to particular disease processes. A common example is mammography …

Mechanical forces such as adhesion, shear stress and compression play crucial roles in
tissue growth, patterning and development. To understand the role of these mechanical …
