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 …

Ultrasound is a highly adaptable medical imaging modality that offers several applications
and a wide range of uses, both for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. The principles of …

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

Tissue stiffness has long been known to be a biomarker of tissue pathology. Ultrasound
elastography measures tissue mechanical properties by monitoring the response of tissue to …

Ultrasonography has been widely used for diagnosis since it was first introduced in clinical
practice in the 1970's. Since then, new ultrasound modalities have been developed, such as …

Ultrasound elastography enables in vivo measurement of the mechanical properties of living
soft tissues in a non-destructive and non-invasive manner and has attracted considerable …

Conventional diagnostic ultrasound images of the anatomy (as opposed to blood flow)
reveal differences in the acoustic properties of soft tissues (mainly echogenicity but also, to …

Ultrasound elastography has been developed as a modality that provides novel diagnostic
information on tissue stiffness and replaces conventional palpation used for breast …

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 …
