Serial assessment of the biomechanical properties of tissues can be used to aid the early
detection and management of pathophysiological conditions, to track the evolution of lesions …

Sonoelastography and transient elastography are two ultrasound-based techniques that
facilitate noninvasive characterization of the viscoelastic properties of soft tissues by …

Measuring the in vivo elastic properties of muscles (eg, stiffness) provides a means for
diagnosing and monitoring muscular activity. The authors demonstrated a passive in vivo …

Abstract Changes in tissue elasticity are generally correlated with its pathological state. In
many cases, despite the difference in elasticity, the small size of a lesion or its location deep …

Evaluating the biomechanics of soft tissues at depths well below their surface, and at high
precision and in real time, would open up diagnostic opportunities. Here, we report the …

The elastic properties of skin are of great interest in dermatology because they are affected
by many pathological conditions. In this paper, a technique for in vivo mechanical strain …

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 …

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 …

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 …

The elastic properties of soft tissues are closely related to their structure, biological
conditions, and pathology. For years, physicians have used palpation as a crude elasticity …
