After X-radiography, ultrasound is now the most common of all the medical imaging
technologies. For millennia, manual palpation has been used to assist in diagnosis, but it is …

After 20 years of innovation in techniques that specifically image the biomechanical
properties of tissue, the evolution of elastographic imaging can be viewed from its infancy …

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 …

Elastography is emerging as an imaging modality that can distinguish normal versus
diseased tissues via their biomechanical properties. This paper reviews current approaches …

Up until about two decades ago acoustic imaging and ultrasound imaging were
synonymous. The term ultrasonography, or its abbreviated version sonography, meant an …

Objectives To assess the value of the viscoelastic parameters in the characterisation of liver
tumours at MR elastography. Patients and methods Ninety-four patients with liver tumours> …

Elastography is a new imaging modality where elastic tissue parameters related to the
structural organization of normal and pathological tissues are imaged. Basic principles …

Motion‐sensitive phase contrast magnetic resonance imaging and magnetic resonance
elastography are applied for the measurement of volumetric strain and tissue compressibility …

Ultrasound poroelastography aims at assessing the poroelastic behavior of biological
tissues via estimation of the local temporal axial strains and effective Poisson's ratios (EPR) …

Ultrasound elastography is a technique used for clinical imaging of tissue stiffness with a
conventional ultrasound machine. It was first proposed two decades ago, but active research …
