Skeletal muscle is a complex tissue, exhibiting not only direction-dependent material
properties (commonly modeled as a transversely isotropic material), but also changes in …

Fatty infiltration of the rotator cuff muscles is very common following rotator cuff tears and is
one of the most important factors in determining treatment. Current clinical practice relies on …

Shear wave elastography (SWE) is a quantitative imaging method that could be used for
clinical assessment of musculoskeletal stiffness, particularly in disease diagnosis and …

Objective: Current shear wave elastography methods primarily focus on 2D imaging. To
explore mechanical properties of biological tissues in 3D, a four-dimensional (4D, x, y, z, t) …

Given its real-time capability to quantify mechanical tissue properties, ultrasound shear
wave elastography holds significant promise in clinical musculoskeletal imaging. However …

Ultrasound shear wave elasticity imaging (SWEI) has the potential to fill a critical clinical gap
by providing biomarkers of muscle health that are noninvasive, inexpensive, and …

In this work we propose and validate an algorithm to estimate phase velocity in anisotropic
media using 3D rotational shear wave elasticity imaging. We propose a novel spatial and …

Background: Previous work has shown the feasibility of 3D-RSWEI for measuring the
mechanical properties of skeletal muscle [1]. As development of elastography techniques …
