Tissue stiffness has long been known to be a biomarker of tissue pathology. Ultrasound
elastography measures tissue mechanical properties by monitoring the response of tissue to …

Ultrasonography has been widely used for diagnosis since it was first introduced in clinical
practice in the 1970's. Since then, new ultrasound modalities have been developed, such as …

Chronic hepatitis is accompanied by progressive deposit of hepatic fibrosis, which may lead
to cirrhosis. Evaluation of liver fibrosis is, thus, of great clinical interest and, up to now, has …

Purpose To assess the technical success rate and diagnostic performance of liver magnetic
resonance (MR) elastography. Materials and Methods This retrospective study was …

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 …

OBJECTIVE. The purpose of this article is to provide an overview of ultrasound and MR
elastography, including a glossary of relevant terminology, a classification of elastography …

Important tissue parameters such as elasticity can be deduced from the study of the
propagation of low frequency shear waves. A new method for measuring the shear velocity …

This paper describes a new technique for two-dimensional (2-D) imaging of the motion
vector at a very high frame rate with ultrasound. Its potential is experimentally demonstrated …

Two main questions are at the center of this paper. The first one concerns the choice of a
rheological model in the frequency range of transient elastography, sonoelasticity or NMR …

In previous work, we have shown that time-resolved 2-D transient elastography is a
promising technique for characterizing the elasticity of soft tissues. It involves the …
