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 …

Acoustic radiation force based elasticity imaging methods are under investigation by many
groups. These methods differ from traditional ultrasonic elasticity imaging methods in that …

This manuscript describes the use of ultrasound elastography, with the exception of liver
applications, and represents an update of the 2013 EFSUMB (European Federation of …

Acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI) imaging involves the mechanical excitation of tissue
using localized, impulsive radiation force. This results in shear-wave propagation away from …

BACKGROUND & AIMS: We evaluated whether spleen stiffness (SS), measured by acoustic
radiation force impulse imaging, can identify patients who have esophageal varices (EVs); …

Several groups are studying acoustic radiation force and its ability to image the mechanical
properties of tissue. Acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI) imaging is one modality using …

Conventional diagnostic ultrasound images portray differences in the acoustic properties of
soft tissues, whereas ultrasound-based elasticity images portray differences in the elastic …

Breast elastography is a new sonographic imaging technique which provides information on
breast lesions in addition to conventional ultrasonography (US) and mammography …

Purpose Virtual Touch tissue quantification is an implementation of ultrasound (US) Acoustic
Radiation Force Impulse (ARFI) imaging that provides numerical measurements (wave …

The feasibility of utilizing acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI) imaging to assess the
mechanical properties of abdominal tissues was investigated. The thermal safety of the …
