Conventional diagnostic ultrasound images of the anatomy (as opposed to blood flow)
reveal differences in the acoustic properties of soft tissues (mainly echogenicity but also, to …

After 20 years of innovation in techniques that specifically image the biomechanical
properties of tissue, the evolution of elastographic imaging can be viewed from its infancy …

The technical part of these Guidelines and Recommendations, produced under the auspices
of EFSUMB, provides an introduction to the physical principles and technology on which all …

Elastography is emerging as an imaging modality that can distinguish normal versus
diseased tissues via their biomechanical properties. This paper reviews current approaches …

This paper reviews the existing literature on the tests used to determine the mechanical
properties of women breast tissues (fat, glandular and tumour tissue) as well as the different …

Ten years have passed since the first commercial equipment for elastography was released;
since then clinical utility has been demonstrated. Nowadays, most manufacturers offer an …

We reconstruct the in vivo spatial distribution of linear and nonlinear elastic parameters in
ten patients with benign (five) and malignant (five) tumors. The mechanical behavior of …

Recently a new adjoint equation based iterative method was proposed for evaluating the
spatial distribution of the elastic modulus of tissue based on the knowledge of its …

We examine the uniqueness of an N-field generalization of a 2D inverse problem associated
with elastic modulus imaging: given N linearly independent displacement fields in an …

Elastography visualizes differences in the biomechanical properties of normal and diseased
tissues (Sarvazyan et al. 1995; Krouskop et al. 1998; Samani et al. 2007; Parker et al. 2011) …
