Quantitative descriptions of in vivo biomechanical properties of soft tissues are necessary for
tissue evaluation and a meaningful surgical simulation. A hand-held ultrasound indentation …

An ultrasound indentation system for biomechanical assessment of soft tissues in-vivo was
developed. The system consists of a hand-held pen-size indentation probe, an ultrasound …

Technologies for soft tissue analysis are advancing at a rapid place. For instance,
elastography, which provides soft tissue strain images, is starting to be tried in clinical …

An ultrasound indentation system for biomechanical assessment of soft tissues in vivo was
developed. The pen-size, hand-held probe was composed of an ultrasound transducer and …

Biomechanical features of soft tissue are commonly investigated by indentation, a procedure
where a blunt probe is advanced and the ensuing deformation of the tissue surface …

We propose a way of measuring elastic properties of tissues in-vivo, using standard medical
image ultrasound machine without any special hardware. Images are acquired while the …

Numerous techniques exist to measure the mechanical properties, of soft tissues in vivo,
such as mechanical stretching, indentation or shearing, as well as elastographic methods …

Computational biomechanical models have become integral components in many areas of
modern medical care, including diagnostic applications, image-guided procedures, robot …

Elastography and strain imaging often use ultrasound to measure mechanical properties of
soft tissues. These techniques generally examine radiofrequency signals from an ultrasound …
