Renal transplantation has emerged as the most cost-effective and patient-supportive way to
treat chronic renal failure, with excellent graft survival rates thanks to improved surgical …

This study aims to evaluate the accuracy of endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) in the staging of
esophageal cancer after neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC). Articles were searched in …

The purpose of this study is to implement a beam-steering ultrasound as the wave source for
shear-wave optical coherence elastography (SW-OCE) to achieve an extended range of …

Benign and malignant tumors differ in the viscoelastic properties of their cellular
microenvironments and in their spatiotemporal response to very low frequency stimuli …

The term myofascia is referred to the skeleton of muscle fibres organized as an
interconnected 3D network that surrounds and connects the musculoskeletal system …

A methodology for estimating the spatial distribution of elastic moduli using the steady-state
dynamic response of solids immersed in fluids is presented. The technique relies on the …

We report on the use of phase-sensitive optical coherence tomography (PhS-OCT) to detect
and track temporal and spatial shear wave propagation within tissue, induced by ultrasound …

In various medical fields, a change of soft tissue stiffness is associated with its physio-
pathological evolution. While elastography is extensively employed to assess soft tissue …

Harmonic motion imaging (HMI) is an ultrasound elastography technique that estimates the
viscoelastic properties of tissues by inducing localized oscillatory motion using focused …

Rationale and objectives Magnetic resonance elastography has proven to be a valuable tool
in the diagnosis of liver fibrosis, breast and cervical cancer, but its application in uterine …
