Optical coherence tomography (OCT) has several advantages over other imaging
modalities, such as angiography and ultrasound, due to its inherently high in vivo resolution …

With the increasing complexity and difficulty of surgical procedures, there is an urgent need
for empirical and high-fidelity surgical teaching tools. Whereas in the past, teaching tools …

A rising wave of technologies and instruments are enabling more labs and clinics to make a
variety of measurements related to tissue viscoelastic properties. These instruments include …

Ultrasound phantoms mimic the acoustic and mechanical properties of native tissues.
Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) phantoms are used extensively as models for validating ultrasound …

In this study, for the first time, the transverse vibrational model of a viscous-fluid-conveying
single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT) embedded in biological soft tissue is developed …

In vivo quantification of shear-wave attenuation in soft tissues may help to better understand
human tissue rheology and lead to new diagnostic strategies. Attenuation is difficult to …

Phantoms are important tools for image quality control and medical training. Many phantom
materials have been proposed for ultrasound; most of them use water as the solvent, but …

Corneal mechanical changes are believed to occur before any visible structural alterations
observed during routine clinical evaluation. This study proposed developing an …

Nonlinear free vibration and instability of fluid-conveying double-walled boron nitride
nanotubes (DWBNNTs) embedded in viscoelastic medium are studied in this paper. The …

The development of high fidelity, anthropomorphically shaped physical phantom organs has
a great potential to benefit novel robotic surgical systems by acting as a pre-clinical test bed …
