Tissue mimicking materials (TMMs), typically contained within phantoms, have been used
for many decades in both imaging and therapeutic applications. This review investigates the …

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 …

The tumour microenvironment may contribute to tumorigenesis owing to mechanical forces
such as fibrotic stiffness or mechanical pressure caused by the expansion of hyper …

The characterization and calibration of ultrasound imaging systems requires tissue-
mimicking phantoms with known acoustic properties, dimensions and internal features …

Magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) is a non‐invasive imaging technique used to
visualise and quantify mechanical properties of tissue, providing information beyond what …

This note summarizes the characterization of the acoustic properties of four materials
intended for the development of tissue, and especially breast tissue, phantoms for the use in …

The purpose of this analysis is to explore the potential diagnostic gain provided by the
viscoelastic shear properties of breast lesions for the improvement of the specificity of …

Computed ultrasound tomography in echo mode (CUTE) allows determining the spatial
distribution of speed-of-sound (SoS) inside tissue using handheld pulse-echo ultrasound …

IIT is used to measure mechanical properties at the nanometer scale. It is an essential tool
for evaluating films, coatings, and surface layers which are used to improve mechanical …

Crawling waves, which are interfering shear wave patterns, can be generated in liver tissue
over a range of frequencies. Some important biomechanical properties of the liver can be …
