Sarcopenia is age-related progressive and generalized loss of skeletal muscle mass and
strength. Its prevalence is rising, which poses a burden for society because it increases …

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 a key imaging tool for evaluating the kidney. Over the last two decades,
methods to measure the mechanical properties of soft tissues have been developed and …

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

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 …

This article concerns with the adaptive fixed-time control problem for classes of nonlinear
cascade systems with parametric uncertainty. The majority of existing finite/fixed-time control …

This brief considers prescribed-time synchronization of stochastic complex networks via a
high-gain function. Different from fixed-time synchronization, the high-gain function is …

Assessment of soft tissue elasticity and viscosity is of interest in several clinical applications.
In this study, we present the feasibility of the local phase velocity based imaging (LPVI) …

This article reports underestimation of mechanical index (MI) and nonscanned thermal index
for bone near focus (TIB) due to hydrophone spatial averaging effects that occur during …
