Elastography-based imaging techniques have received substantial attention in recent years
for non-invasive assessment of tissue mechanical properties. These techniques take …

Tissue stiffness has long been known to be a biomarker of tissue pathology. Ultrasound
elastography measures tissue mechanical properties by monitoring the response of tissue to …

Ultrasound elastography is an emerging set of imaging modalities used to image tissue
elasticity and are often referred to as virtual palpation. These techniques have proven …

Conventional imaging techniques cannot provide information about tissue mechanical
properties. Many injuries can cause changes in tissue stiffness, especially tumors and …

Tissue stiffness assessed by palpation for diagnosing pathology has been used for
thousands of years. Ultrasound elastography has been developed more recently to display …

Ultrasound elasticity imaging has been a research interest for the past 20 years with the goal
of generating novel images of soft tissues based on their material properties (ie, stiffness …

OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this article is to provide an overview of ultrasound and MR
elastography, including a glossary of relevant terminology, a classification of elastography …

Elastography is a relatively new imaging technology that creates images of tissue stiffness. It
can be thought of an extension of the ancient technique of palpation but it gives better …

Elastography has emerged as a useful adjunct tool for ultrasound diagnosis. Elastograms
are images of tissue stiffness and may be in color, grayscale, or a combination of the two …

Physicians have used palpation as a diagnostic examination to understand the elastic
properties of pathology for a long time since they realized that tissue stiffness is closely …
