Abstract Background and Objective Biopsy stands as the gold standard for kidney transplant
assessment, yet its invasive nature restricts frequent use. Shear wave elastography (SWE) is …

Noninvasive quantification of liver elasticity is a promising alternative to liver biopsy to stage
liver fibrosis, a condition afflicting hundreds of millions of patients worldwide. Quantitative …

Purpose The aim of the study was to test inter‐observer and intra‐observer reliability of
measuring multiparametric ultrasound in adult livers. Methods We prospectively measured …

Quantitative, non-invasive and local measurements of arterial mechanical properties could
be highly beneficial for early diagnosis of cardiovascular disease and follow up of treatment …

Lung diseases, such as acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and idiopathic
pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), are closely associated with altered lung elastic properties …

This article reports underestimation of mechanical index (MI) and nonscanned thermal index
for bone near focus (TIB) due to hydrophone spatial averaging effects that occur during …

Harmonic motion imaging (HMI) is an ultrasound elastography technique that estimates the
viscoelastic properties of tissues by inducing localized oscillatory motion using focused …

Objective. The mechanical behaviour of soft tissue is influenced by its elastic and viscous
characteristics. Therefore, the aim of this study was to develop a validated method to …

Elasticity imaging methods have been used to study tissue mechanical properties and have
demonstrated that tissue elasticity changes with disease state. In current shear wave …

Ultrasound shear wave elastography (SWE) techniques have been very useful for the
analysis of tissue rheological properties, but there are still obstacles for robust evaluation of …
