Elastography is a method that can ultimately generate several new kinds of images, called
elastograms. As such, all the properties of elastograms are different from the familiar …

Objective. The correlation between various diseases and the change in the local mechanical
properties of soft tissues has been long known. Over the past 20 years, there have been …

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) …

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 …

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 …

Many manufacturers of ultrasound systems offer elastography capabilities. Though the
research literature describes techniques involving external actuators, commercial systems …

Ultrasound is an essential modality within musculoskeletal imaging, with the recent addition
of elastography. The elastic properties of tissues are different from the acoustic impedance …

Ultrasound elasticity imaging is a promising method that may eventually allow early
detection of many tissue pathologies. However, before elasticity imaging can be applied to …
