Acoustic radiation force based elasticity imaging methods are under investigation by many
groups. These methods differ from traditional ultrasonic elasticity imaging methods in that …

From times immemorial manual palpation served as a source of information on the state of
soft tissues and allowed detection of various diseases accompanied by changes in tissue …

Radiation force is a universal phenomenon in any wave motion, electromagnetic or acoustic.
Although acoustic and electromagnetic waves are both characterized by time variation of …

Purpose To investigate factors influencing the quality of ultrasonographic (US) elastography
in the evaluation of suspicious breast masses. Materials and Methods This prospective study …

Objectives To explore spatial variability within the cervix and the sensitivity of shear wave
speed (SWS) to assess softness/stiffness differences in ripened (softened) vs unripened …

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 …

differences in cervical softening pre‐and post‐ripening in women undergoing induction of …

Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a leading cause of death and is in the majority of cases
due to the formation of atherosclerotic plaques in arteries. Initially, thickening of the inner …

Shear wave elasticity imaging (SWEI) was employed to track acoustic radiation force
impulse (ARFI)-induced shear waves in the mid-myocardium of the left ventricular free wall …
