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

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

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 …

Microwave ablation has been used clinically as an alternative to surgical resection.
However, lack of real-time imaging to assess treated regions may compromise treatment …

This paper presents an algorithm for 3-D reconstruction of tumor ablations using ultrasound
shear wave imaging with electrode vibration elastography. Radio-frequency ultrasound data …

Purpose: This paper discusses an application of particle filtering for estimating shear wave
velocity in tissue using ultrasound elastography data. Shear wave velocity estimates are of …

A simple but general solution of Navier's equation for axisymmetric shear wave propagation
in a homogeneous isotropic viscoelastic medium is presented. It is well-suited for use as a …

Despite the significant progress in the use of imaging methods to monitor radiofrequency
ablation (RFA) of hepatic metastases of colorectal cancer, in the vast majority of institutions …

CECT is widely adopted in post-ablation imaging to display the ablation zone. Iodinated
contrast material is delivered before CECT scanning, and the perfused region is highlighted …
