In this article, a novel protocol for mechanical testing, combined with finite element
modeling, is presented that allows the determination of the elastic modulus of normal and …

Given the critical role of liver mechanics in regulating cell response and directing the
development of tissue fibrosis, accurately characterising its mechanical behaviour is of …

The mechanical behavior of human liver has been characterized with aspiration
experiments. Measurements have been performed in vivo under sterile conditions during …

Despite the success of elastography in grading hepatic fibrosis by stiffness related
noninvasive markers the relationship between viscoelastic constants in the liver and tissue …

Surgical simulation systems need not only models that capture the behaviors of living tissue,
but also parameters measured from real tissues to make such models meaningful. A …

The mechanical response of human liver is characterized in vivo by means of intra-operative
aspiration experiments. Mechanical characterization is combined with histological …

The characterization of the mechanical properties of soft human tissues is a formidable task
and forms an essential prerequisite to many applications in biomedical engineering and …

It has been reported that ex vivo viscoelastic properties of liver tissues usually differ from
those measured in in vivo state due to the reasons such as the effects of perfusion …

Mechanical properties of biological tissues are needed for accurate surgical simulation and
diagnostic purposes. These properties change postmortem due to alterations in both the …

In the past decade, novel tools for surgical planning and disease diagnosis have been
developed to detect the liver's mechanical properties. Some tools utilize superficial …
