Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is a condition that is characterized by the presence of> 5%
fat in the liver and affects more than one billion people worldwide. If adequate and early …

The study of ultrasound tissue interactions in fatty livers has a long history with strong clinical
potential for assessing steatosis. Recently we proposed alternative measures of first-and …

Background Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a leading cause of chronic liver
disease worldwide. Quantitative ultrasound (QUS) parameters based on radiofrequency raw …

Within the field of elastography, a relatively new approach analyzes the limiting case of
shear waves established as a reverberant field. In this framework, it is assumed that a …

In medical imaging, quantitative measurements have shown promise in identifying diseases
by classifying normal versus pathological parameters from tissues. The support vector …

Assessment of soft tissue elasticity and viscosity is of interest in several clinical applications.
In this study, we present the feasibility of the local phase velocity based imaging (LPVI) …

Magnetic resonance and ultrasound elastography techniques are now important tools for
staging high-grade fibrosis in patients with chronic liver disease. However, uncertainty …

Elastography provides tissue stiffness information that attempts to characterize the elastic
properties of tissue. However, there is still limited literature comparing elastographic …

Shear wave propagation in the liver has been a robust subject of research, with shear wave
speed receiving the most attention. The correlation between increased shear wave speed …

Shear wave elastography (speed and dispersion), local attenuation coefficient slope and
homodyned-K parametric imaging were used for liver steatosis grading. These ultrasound …
