Conventional diagnostic ultrasound images of the anatomy (as opposed to blood flow)
reveal differences in the acoustic properties of soft tissues (mainly echogenicity but also, to …

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 …

This review is devoted to some inverse problems arising in the context of linear elasticity,
namely the identification of distributions of elastic moduli, model parameters or buried …

From the development of x-ray imaging in the late 19th century, the field of medical imaging
developed an impressive array of modalities. These can measure and image a variety of …

The purpose of this work was to develop magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) for the
fast and reproducible measurement of spatially averaged viscoelastic constants of living …

Elastography is an imaging technique to reconstruct elasticity distributions of heterogeneous
objects. Since cancerous tissues are stiffer than healthy ones, for decades, elastography has …

We reconstruct the in vivo spatial distribution of linear and nonlinear elastic parameters in
ten patients with benign (five) and malignant (five) tumors. The mechanical behavior of …

Transient elastography and supersonic imaging are promising new techniques for
characterizing the elasticity of soft tissues. Using this method, an'ultrafast imaging'system (up …

Magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) is an increasingly used noninvasive modality for
diagnosing diseases using the response of soft tissue to harmonic shear waves. We present …

Recently a new adjoint equation based iterative method was proposed for evaluating the
spatial distribution of the elastic modulus of tissue based on the knowledge of its …
