Viscoelastic response (VisR) imaging is presented as a new acoustic radiation force (ARF)-
based elastographic imaging method. Exploiting the Voigt model, VisR imaging estimates …

Liver fibrosis is currently staged using needle biopsy, a highly invasive procedure with a
number of disadvantages. Measurement of liver stiffness changes that accompany …

Magnetic particles are versatile imaging agents that have found wide spread applicability in
diagnostic, therapeutic, and rheology applications. In this study, we demonstrate that …

Ultrasound (US) shear wave (SW) elastography has been widely studied and implemented
on clinical systems to assess the elasticity of living organs. Imaging of SW attenuation …

Assessment of soft tissue elasticity and viscosity is of interest in several clinical applications.
In this study, we present the feasibility of the local phase velocity based imaging (LPVI) …

Scars are a type of fibrous tissue that typically forms during the wound healing process to
replace damaged skin. Because studies have indicated a high correlation between scar …

This paper reports shear stiffness and viscosity “virtual biopsy” measurements of the three
excised noncancerous human prostates using a new tool known as shear wave dispersion …

Ultrasound shear wave elastography (SWE) is an imaging modality used for noninvasive,
quantitative evaluation of tissue mechanical properties. SWE uses an acoustic radiation …

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

Aim: To evaluate the feasibility of multiple ultrasound markers for the non-invasive
characterization of fibrosis, inflammation and steatosis in the liver in pediatric patients …
