Up until about two decades ago acoustic imaging and ultrasound imaging were
synonymous. The term ultrasonography, or its abbreviated version sonography, meant an …

From the development of x-ray imaging in the late 19th century, the field of medical imaging
developed an impressive array of modalities. These can measure and image a variety of …

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 …

Muscles are the actuators that drive human movement. However, despite many decades of
work, we still cannot readily assess the forces that muscles transmit during human …

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) occurs when local mechanical load exceeds certain tolerance
levels for brain tissue. Extensive research has been done previously for brain matter …

The in vivo influence of renal anisotropy and of urinary and vascular pressure on elasticity
values using ultrasonic supersonic shear wave elastography was studied in pigs …

Ultrasound elastography enables in vivo measurement of the mechanical properties of living
soft tissues in a non-destructive and non-invasive manner and has attracted considerable …

Blood pressure measurement is the most widely performed clinical exam to predict mortality
risk. The gold standard for its noninvasive assessment is the auscultatory method, which …

Background Quantifying passive stretching responses of individual muscles helps the
diagnosis of muscle disorders and aids the evaluation of surgical/rehabilitation treatments …

Objective The purpose of this study is to assess the elastic and anisotropic properties of
normal calcaneal tendon in vivo by transient shear wave elastography (SWE). Materials and …
