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 …

Objectives Patellar tendon injuries occur via various mechanisms such as overuse, or due to
surgical graft harvest for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). Quantified …

Objective: Estimating the elasticity distribution in the cornea is important because corneal
elasticity is usually influenced by corneal pathologies and surgical treatments, especially for …

Scars are a type of fibrous tissue that typically forms during the wound healing process to
replace damaged skin. Because studies have indicated a high correlation between scar …

Objective. To develop a 3D shear wave elastography (SWE) technique using a 2D row
column addressing (RCA) array, with either external vibration or acoustic radiation force …

Tendon injuries lead to tendon stiffness, which impairs skeletal muscle movement. Most
studies have focused on patellar or Achilles tendons by using ultrasound elastography. Only …

High-frequency convex array transducer, featuring both high spatial resolution and wide
field of view, has been successfully developed for ophthalmic imaging. To further expand its …

High-resolution ultrasound shear wave elastography has been used to determine the
mechanical properties of hand tendons. However, because of fiber orientation, tendons …
