Flexible manipulation of elastic and acoustic waves through phononic meta-structured
materials (PMSMs) has attracted a lot of attention in the last three decades and shows a …

Anatomical cross‐sectional imaging methods such as contrast‐enhanced MRI and CT are
the standard for the delineation, treatment planning, and follow‐up of patients with …

The purpose of this work is to develop the three-dimensional (3D) finite element (FE)
modeling approach for the linear mechanical behavior of the wood material. The developed …

Intraoperative ultrasound (ioUS) is increasingly used in current neurosurgical practice. This
is mainly explained by its affordability, handiness, multimodal real-time nature, and overall …

During neuro-oncologic surgery, phase-sensitive optical coherence elastography (OCE) can
be valuable for distinguishing between healthy and diseased tissue. However, the phase …

Time delay estimation (TDE) between two radio-frequency (RF) frames is one of the major
steps of quasi-static ultrasound elastography, which detects tissue pathology by estimating …

Maximal safe resection is the standard of care in the neurosurgical treatment of high-grade
gliomas. To aid surgeons in the operating room, adjuvant techniques and technologies …

Within medical imaging, ultrasound serves as a crucial tool, particularly in the realms of
brain imaging and disease diagnosis. It offers superior safety, speed, and wider applicability …

Background Similar to clinical palpation, Ultrasound elastography (USE) helps distinguish
between tissues by providing information on their elasticity. While it has been widely …

BACKGROUND: Strain elastography is an intraoperative ultrasound (ioUS) modality
currently under development with various potential applications in neurosurgery …
