Elastography is emerging as an imaging modality that can distinguish normal versus
diseased tissues via their biomechanical properties. This paper reviews current approaches …

Soft biological tissues are complex materials with a large structural variety, with differences
in behavior, but with some common characteristics. Skin is an archetypal soft tissue which …

The technical part of these Guidelines and Recommendations, produced under the auspices
of EFSUMB, provides an introduction to the physical principles and technology on which all …

Probing the mechanical properties of tissue on the microscale could aid in the identification
of diseased tissues that are inadequately detected using palpation or current clinical …

Magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) is a medical imaging technique that combines
magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with mechanical vibrations to generate maps of …

Elastography is a new imaging modality where elastic tissue parameters related to the
structural organization of normal and pathological tissues are imaged. Basic principles …

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) has several advantages over other imaging
modalities, such as angiography and ultrasound, due to its inherently high in vivo resolution …

We reconstruct the in vivo spatial distribution of linear and nonlinear elastic parameters in
ten patients with benign (five) and malignant (five) tumors. The mechanical behavior of …

AIM: To compare the diagnostic performance of breast elastography versus conventional
ultrasound in the assessment of breast lesions. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study …

Assessment of tissue stiffness is desirable for clinicians and researchers, as it is well
established that pathophysiological mechanisms often alter the structural properties of …
