Clinical measurement of corneal biomechanics can aid in the early diagnosis, progression
tracking, and treatment evaluation of ocular diseases. Over the past two decades …

Collagen and proteoglycans work in unison in the ECM to bear loads, store elastic energy
and then dissipate excess energy to avoid tissue fatigue and premature mechanical failure …

Alterations in corneal biomechanics are known to occur in several corneal degenerative
diseases and after refractive surgical procedures. The measurement of corneal …

Purpose: To determine the in vivo elastic modulus of the human cornea using vibrational
optical coherence tomography (VOCT). Methods: Vibrational analysis coupled with optical …

Simple Summary Skin cancer detection is an important problem since it is the most common
form of cancer in the US and the number of cases is increasing in the US and worldwide …

Early detection of skin cancer is of critical importance to provide five year survival rates that
approach 99%. By 2050, one out of five Americans by age 70 will develop some form of skin …

Early detection of skin cancer is of critical importance since the five-year survival rate for
early detected skin malignancies is 99% but drops to 27% for cancer that has spread to …

Noninvasive measurement of the viscoelastic properties of both natural and synthetic
polymers is important for the analysis of implant design and performance as well as in …

Microliter air-pulse optical coherence elastography (OCE) has recently been proposed for
the characterization of soft-tissue biomechanics using transient, sub-nanometer to …

Background: Energy storage, transmission and dissipation are important considerations of
normal mechanical homeostasis. In this paper we present a new technique termed …
