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 …

Radiation force is a universal phenomenon in any wave motion where the wave energy
produces a static or transient force on the propagation medium. The theory of acoustic …

Differentiating malignant from benign breast lesions remains a challenge that may be met by
a new imaging biomarker: lesion-to-background mechanical anisotropy assessed by VisR …

Ultrasound is gaining traction as a neuromodulation method due to its ability to remotely and
non-invasively modulate neuronal activity with millimeter precision. However, there is little …

Shear wave elastography is emerging as a clinically valuable diagnostic tool to differentiate
between benign and malignant breast masses. Elastography techniques assume that soft …

Viscoelastic response (VisR) ultrasound is an acoustic radiation force (ARF)-based imaging
method that fits induced displacements to a one-dimensional (1-D) mass-spring-damper …

Introduction: Acoustic radiation force (ARF) is used in many biomedical applications. The
transfer of momentum in acoustic waves can be used in a multitude of ways to perturb tissue …

The kidney is an anisotropic organ, with higher elasticity along versus across nephrons. The
degree of mechanical anisotropy in the kidney may be diagnostically relevant if properly …

Viscoelastic response (VisR) ultrasound characterizes the viscoelastic properties of tissue
by fitting acoustic radiation force (ARF)-induced displacements in the region of ARF …

Purpose Magnetic resonance acoustic radiation force imaging (MR‐ARFI) enables focal
spot localization during nonablative transcranial ultrasound therapies. As the acoustic …
