Changes in biomechanical properties of biological soft tissues are often associated with
physiological dysfunctions. Since biological soft tissues are hydrated, viscoelasticity is likely …

After ten years of progress and innovation, optical coherence elastography (OCE) based on
the propagation of mechanical waves has become one of the major and the most studied …

Using liver phantoms for mimicking human tissue in clinical training, disease diagnosis, and
treatment planning is a common practice. The fabrication material of the liver phantom …

Background Little is known about the benefits of the use of dispersion slope (DS) as a
viscosity-related parameter derived from two-dimensional (2D) shear-wave elastography …

Mechanical properties of the anterior anatomical structures of the eye, such as the cornea
and ciliary body, play a key role in the ocular function and homeostasis. However …

The objective of this study was to evaluate the reliability of four methods of assessing vastus
lateralis (VL) stiffness, and to describe the influence of structural characteristics on them. The …

Elastography researchers have utilized several rheological models to characterize soft
tissue viscoelasticity over the past thirty years. Due to the frequency-dependent behavior of …

The objective of this study was to evaluate which hyperelastic model could best describe the
non-linear mechanical behavior of the cornea, in order to characterize the capability of the …

Corneal mechanical changes are believed to occur before any visible structural alterations
observed during routine clinical evaluation. This study proposed developing an …

Mapping of mechanical properties, dependent on the frequency of motion, is relevant in
diagnosis, monitoring treatment response, or intra-operative surgical resection planning …
