Neurological disorders are one of the most important public health concerns in developed
countries. Established brain imaging techniques such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) …

The technique of MR elastography (MRE) has emerged as a useful modality for
quantitatively imaging the mechanical properties of soft tissues in vivo. Recently, MRE has …

The aim of the present study was to assess the reliability of shear elastic modulus
measurements performed using supersonic shear imaging (SSI) in nine resting muscles (ie …

Magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) is a medical imaging technique that combines
magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with mechanical vibrations to generate maps of …

Elements of what we call myofascial force transmission today have been on peoples mind
for a long time, usually implicitly, sometimes quite explicitly. A lot is there to be learned from …

As muscle is stretched, it reacts with increasing passive resistance. This passive force
component is important for normal muscle function. Unfortunately, direct measurement of …

Objectives The purpose of this study was to determine intraobserver, interobserver, and inter‐
day reliability levels for stiffness measurements of the patellar tendon and rectus femoris …

Magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) is an innovative imaging technique for the non-
invasive quantification of the biomechanical properties of soft tissues via the direct …

Clinical assessments for many musculoskeletal disorders involve evaluation of muscle
stiffness, although it is not yet possible to obtain quantitative estimates from individual …

A novel quantitative sonoelastography technique for assessing the viscoelastic properties of
skeletal muscle tissue was developed. Slowly propagating shear wave interference patterns …
