Ultrasound shear wave elastography (SWE) methods are being used to differentiate healthy
versus diseased tissue on the basis of their viscoelastic mechanical properties. Tissue …

Background Diaphragm dysfunction is highly prevalent in mechanically ventilated patients.
Recent work showed that changes in diaphragm shear modulus (ΔSMdi) assessed using …

Using the cross-correlation or cross-coherence method to extract the traveltime information
of surface waves between two stations from the ambient noise seismic data has become a …

Ultrasound shear wave elastography (SWE) is a technique used to measure mechanical
properties to evaluate healthy and pathological soft tissues. SWE typically employs an …

Viscoelastic response (VisR) ultrasound characterizes the viscoelastic properties of tissue
by fitting acoustic radiation force (ARF)-induced displacements in the region of ARF …

There is a growing interest in quantifying shear-wave dispersion (SWD) with ultrasound
shear-wave elastography (SWE). Recent studies suggest that SWD complements shear …

Objective This study aims to present an approach for the simulation of ultrasound elastic
waves propagation in a diverse range of heterogeneous tissue-like viscoelastic materials …

Ultrasound shear wave elastography (SWE) is an increasingly used noninvasive modality
for quantitative evaluation of tissue mechanical properties. SWE typically uses an acoustic …

Ultrasound elastography (USE) is a promising tool for tissue characterization as several
diseases result in alterations of tissue structure and composition, which manifest as changes …

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) …
