Elastography provides significant information on staging of fibrosis in patients with liver
disease and may be of some value in assessing steatosis. However, there remain questions …

This research shows an image processing method to determine the liver tissue's mechanical
behavior under physiological damage caused by fibrosis pathology. The proposed method …

Shear wave elastography (SWE) has been used to measure viscoelastic properties for
characterization of fibrotic livers. In this technique, external mechanical vibrations or acoustic …

Continuum tissue models that were often used to simulate or analyze the mechanical
properties of tissues being imaged may not be biologically realistic. Our primary objective …

Our primary objective of this work was to design and test a new time-of-flight (TOF) method
that allows measurements of shear wave speed (SWS) following impulsive excitation in soft …

Ultrasound Elastography (UE) is an emerging set of imaging modalities used to assess the
biomechanical properties of soft tissues. UE has been applied to numerous clinical …

The most prevalent chronic liver disease is non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD),
affecting approximately 30% of the population in the United States. NAFLD is expected to be …
