Introduction: Acoustic radiation force (ARF) is used in many biomedical applications. The
transfer of momentum in acoustic waves can be used in a multitude of ways to perturb tissue …

Viscoelastic response (VisR) ultrasound is an acoustic radiation force (ARF)-based imaging
method that fits induced displacements to a one-dimensional (1-D) mass-spring-damper …

We report here the results of a longitudinal study of cervix stiffness during pregnancy. Thirty
women, ages ranging from 19 to 37 years, were scanned with ultrasound at five time points …

In transversely isotropic (TI) materials, mechanical properties (Young's modulus, shear
modulus, and Poisson's ratio) are different along versus across the axis of symmetry (AoS) …

Plane wave compounding (PWC) is widely used to measure the propagation of shear
waves. Implementing PWC on most commercial ultrasound scanners is challenging …

Degree of anisotropy (DoA) of mechanical properties has been assessed as the ratio of
acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI)-induced peak displacements (PDs) achieved using …

In this article, a wave propagation model is presented as the first step in the development of
a new type of transluminal procedure for performing elastography. Elastography is a medical …

In general, it is difficult to visualize internal ocular structure and detect a lesion such as a
cataract or glaucoma using the current ultrasound brightness-mode (B-mode) imaging. This …

Fractional viscoelastic rheological models, such as the Kelvin Voigt Fractional Derivative
model, have been proposed in the literature for modelling shear wave propagation in soft …

This study evaluates the performance of an acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI)-based
outcome parameter, the decadic logarithm of the variance of acceleration, or log (VoA), for …
