Conventional medical imaging technologies, including ultrasound, have continued to
improve over the years. For example, in oncology, medical imaging is characterized by high …

Quantitative ultrasound (QUS) aims at quantifying interactions between ultrasound and
biological tissues. QUS techniques extract fundamental physical properties of tissues based …

The viscosity of blood has long been used as an indicator in the understanding and
treatment of disease, and the advent of modern viscometers allows its measurement with …

Mesoscale simulations of blood flow, where the red blood cells are described as deformable
closed shells with a membrane characterized by bending rigidity and stretching elasticity …

Background: Monitoring the accumulation of microbubbles within tissue vasculature with
ultrasound allows both molecular and perfusion imaging. Unfortunately, conventional …

Background: Recurrent deep vein thrombosis (DVT) risk factors include a first idiopathic
DVT, strongly suggesting the existence of undiagnosed and/or unidentified prothrombotic …

A two dimensional simulation study was performed to investigate the photoacoustic signal
properties of non-aggregated and aggregated erythrocytes. Spatial distributions of non …

One of the main limitations of ultrasound imaging is that image quality and interpretation
depend on the skill of the user and the experience of the clinician. Quantitative ultrasound …

We review recent advances in multiscale modeling of the biomechanical characteristics of
red blood cells (RBCs) in hematological diseases, and their relevance to the structure and …

Quantitative ultrasound (QUS) techniques using radiofrequency (RF) backscattered signals
have been used for tissue characterization of numerous organ systems. One approach is to …
