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 …

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 …

Magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) is a medical imaging technique that combines
magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with mechanical vibrations to generate maps of …

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> …

In this paper, we report new progress in developing the instrument and software platform of
a combined X-ray mammography/diffuse optical breast imaging system. Particularly, we …

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 …

We study the effects of interstitial fluid flow and interstitial fluid drainage on the spatio-
temporal response of soft tissue strain. The motivation stems from the ability to measure in …

Accurately estimating all strain components in quasi-static ultrasound elastography is crucial
for the full analysis of biological media. In this study, 2D strain tensor imaging was …
