Objective. The purpose of this study was to prospectively assess the performance of real‐
time tissue elastography (RTE) in the evaluation of breast masses and correlate RTE and …

RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: The goal of the present study was to compare the
sensitivity and specificity of elastography with that of B-mode ultrasound (US) and …

Biomechanical elastic properties are among the many variables used to characterize in vivo
and in vitro tissues. Since these properties depend largely on the micro-and macroscopic …

We present a novel approach to solve the inverse problem in finite elasticity for the non-
homogeneous shear modulus distribution solely from known surface deformation fields. The …

Elastography is a new ultrasound imaging technique to provide the information about
relative tissue stiffness. The elasticity information provided by this dynamic imaging method …

We describe an approach for external beam radiotherapy of breast cancer that utilizes the
three‐dimensional (3D) surface information of the breast. The surface data of the breast are …

RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: Sonoelastography depicts the intrinsic elastic properties of
a tissue which are characterized by the strain applied to achieve tissue deformation and the …

Rupture, with subsequent thrombosis, of thin-cap fibroatheromas (TCFAs) is a major cause
of myocardial infarction. A TCFA has two main components: these are a large, soft lipid pool …

We present for the first time the feasibility to recover the stiffness (here shear modulus)
distribution of a three-dimensional heterogeneous sample using measured surface …

While ultrasound-and magnetic resonance-based elastography techniques have proved to
be powerful biomedical imaging tools, most approaches assume isotropic material …
