Shear wave elastography imaging techniques provide quantitative measurement of soft
tissues elastic properties. Tendons, muscles and cerebral tissues are composed of fibers …

Tissues such as skeletal muscle and kidneys have well-defined structure that affects the
measurements of mechanical properties. As an approach to characterize the material …

The paper presents the theory of shear wave propagation in a “soft solid” material
possessing anisotropy of elastic and dissipative properties. The theory is developed mainly …

Ultrasound radiation force-based methods have the ability of estimating the tissue
viscoelastic material properties. A limitation of the current methods exists when the …

Изложена теория распространения сдвиговых волн в материале типа “soft solid”,
обладающем анизотропией упругих и диссипативных свойств. Теория развита, прежде …

Arterial stiffness is an important biometric in predicting cardiovascular diseases, since
mechanical properties serve as indicators of several pathologies such as eg atherosclerosis …

In our earlier publications [1, 2] we hypothesized that dissipation of mechanical energy of
external impact is a fundamental function of skeletal muscle in addition to its primary function …

One of the least studied functions of skeletal muscle is its role in protecting the skeletal
system from external impacts by absorbing and redistributing the energy of mechanical …
