Shear wave elastography offers a new dimension to echocardiography: it measures
myocardial stiffness. Therefore, it could provide additional insights into the pathophysiology …

Dynamic elastography, whether based on magnetic resonance, ultrasound, or optical
modalities, attempts to reconstruct quantitative maps of the viscoelastic properties of …

Mechanical stresses across different length scales play a fundamental role in understanding
biological systems' functions and engineering soft machines and devices. However, it is …

Ultrasound shear wave elastography was developed the past decade, bringing new stiffness
biomarker in clinical practice. This biomarker reveals to be of primarily importance for the …

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

Shear wave elasticity imaging (SWEI) usually assumes an isotropic material; however,
skeletal muscle is typically modeled as a transversely isotropic material with independent …

Skeletal muscle is a complex tissue, exhibiting not only direction-dependent material
properties (commonly modeled as a transversely isotropic material), but also changes in …

Ultrasonic rotational 3-D shear wave elasticity imaging (SWEI) has been used to induce and
evaluate multiple shear wave modes, including both the shear horizontal (SH) and shear …

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has a very high incidence and fatality rate, and in most
cases, it is already at an advanced stage when diagnosed. Therefore, early prevention and …

Objective. Skeletal muscles are organized into distinct layers and exhibit anisotropic
characteristics across various scales. Assessing the arrangement of skeletal muscles may …
