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 …

Percutaneous thermal therapy is an important clinical treatment method for some solid
tumors. It is critical to use effective image visualization techniques to monitor the therapy …

Gas bubbles induced during the radiofrequency ablation (RFA) of tissues can affect the
detection of ablation zones (necrosis zone or thermal lesion) during ultrasound …

Abstract Interpretation of experimental data from micro-and nano-scale indentation testing is
highly dependent on the constitutive model selected to relate measurements to mechanical …

Percutaneous thermal ablation has been widely used as a minimally invasive treatment for
tumors. Treatment monitoring is essential for preventing complications while ensuring …

Ultrasound elastography is envisioned as an optional modality to augment standard
ultrasound B-mode imaging and is a promising technique to aid in detecting uterine masses …

Purpose: Electrode vibration elastography is a new shear wave imaging technique that can
be used to visualize thermal ablation zones. Prior work has shown the ability of electrode …

Recent advances in elastography have provided several imaging modalities capable of
quantifying the elasticity of tissue, an intrinsic tissue property. This information is useful for …

We report non-contact laser-based Brillouin light-scattering (BLS) spectroscopy
measurements of the viscoelastic properties of hyperthermally radiofrequency (RF)-heated …

In spite of significant efforts to improve image-guided ablation therapy, a large number of
