Chronic liver diseases, resulting from chronic injuries of various causes, lead to cirrhosis
with life-threatening complications including liver failure, portal hypertension, hepatocellular …

Fibrillar proteins are principal components of extracellular matrix (ECM) that confer
mechanical properties to tissues. Fibrosis can result from wound repair in nearly every tissue …

Background Little is known about the benefits of the use of dispersion slope (DS) as a
viscosity-related parameter derived from two-dimensional (2D) shear-wave elastography …

The magnitude of mechanical stresses caused by cell surface tension may be comparable to
the bulk elasticity of their matrix on cellular length scales, yet how capillary effects influence …

Background Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a leading cause of chronic liver
disease worldwide. Quantitative ultrasound (QUS) parameters based on radiofrequency raw …

It is known that changes in the mechanical properties of tissues are associated with the
onset and progression of certain diseases. Ultrasound elastography is a technique to …

Background In patients with non‐alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), the impact of the
severity of steatosis and inflammatory activity on the accuracy of liver stiffness measurement …

Adiposity accumulation in the liver is an early-stage indicator of non-alcoholic fatty liver
disease. Analysis of ultrasound (US) backscatter echoes from liver parenchyma with deep …

Objective. This systematic review and meta‐analysis aimed to compare the diagnostic
performance of transient elastography (TE) and two‐dimensional shear wave elastography …

The mechanical and electrical properties of soft tissues are relative to soft tissues'
pathological state. Modern medical imaging devices have shown a trend to multi-modal …
