After X-radiography, ultrasound is now the most common of all the medical imaging
technologies. For millennia, manual palpation has been used to assist in diagnosis, but it is …

After 20 years of innovation in techniques that specifically image the biomechanical
properties of tissue, the evolution of elastographic imaging can be viewed from its infancy …

The technical part of these Guidelines and Recommendations, produced under the auspices
of EFSUMB, provides an introduction to the physical principles and technology on which all …

To evaluate the dynamic range of tissue imaged by elastography, the mechanical behavior
of breast and prostate tissue samples subject to compression loading has been investigated …

Magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) is a phase-contrast-based MRI imaging technique
that can directly visualize and quantitatively measure propagating acoustic strain waves in …

The non-invasive quantification of regional myocardial function is an important goal in
clinical cardiology. Myocardial thickening/thinning indices is one method of attempting to …

Purpose: To understand and quantify intraocular pressure (IOP) measurement errors
introduced by corneal variables during applanation tonometry using a cornea …

The basic principles of using sonographic techniques for imaging the elastic properties of
tissues are described, with particular emphasis on elastography. After some preliminaries …

A method of acoustic remote palpation, capable of imaging local variations in the
mechanical properties of tissue, is under investigation. In this method, focused ultrasound is …

A phase shift droplet emulsion is introduced as an aid to unusual ultrasound (US)
applications. The transpulmonary droplet emulsion (90%< 6 μm diameter) is made by mixing …
