The characterization of soft tissues remains a vital need for various bioengineering and
medical fields. Developing areas such as regenerative medicine, robot-aided surgery, and …

We recently introduced a series of papers describing how to do certain techniques. This
article is the first part of a review of shear wave elastography (SWE). It reports the principles …

Purpose We aimed to investigate the use and effectiveness of Shear-Wave Elastography
(SWE) in Hashimoto's Thyroiditis (HT) diagnosis and compare the SWE values in HT …

Mechanobiology plays a prominent role in cancer invasion and metastasis. The ability of a
cancer to degrade extracellular matrix (ECM) is likely connected to its invasiveness. Many …

Ultrasound shear wave elastography (SWE) is an emerging modality for the estimation of
stiffness, but it has not been studied in relation to common disorders with altered stiffness …

Objectives The purpose of this study is to prospectively investigate the reference values of
masseter and temporal muscle thicknesses by ultrasonography and muscle hardness …

Objective: To summarize the available evidence on the use of elastography in the
assessment of the masseter muscle in healthy individuals and patients with masseter …

We aimed to investigate whether the collaboration of shear wave elastosonography (SWE)
and B-mode ultrasonography (US) could be offered as diagnostic tools to assess the …

Developing methods for the non-invasive characterization of the mechanics of
musculoskeletal tissues is an ongoing research focus in biomechanics. Often, these …

Context Neck pain (NP), neck injuries, and concussions are more prevalent in female
athletes than in their male counterparts. Females exhibit less neck girth, strength, and …
