Modality Independent Elastography: Preliminary Results
The correlation between the stiffness and health of tissue is an accepted form of organ disease assessment. As a result, there has been a significant amount of interest in developing methods to image elasticity parameters (i.e. elastography). This work presents a technique that frames the elastography imaging problem within a non-rigid iterative image registration approach. Through the use of f...
متن کاملPathology of Explanted Transvaginal Meshes
The use of polypropylene mesh devices for Pelvic Organ Prolapse (POP) spread rapidly during the last decade, yet our knowledge of the mesh-tissue interaction is far from complete. We aimed to perform a thorough pathological examination of explanted POP meshes and describe findings that may explain mechanisms of complications resulting in product excision. We report a spectrum of important findi...
متن کاملIn vitro uterine strain imaging: preliminary results.
OBJECTIVE Uterine abnormalities, such as leiomyomas, endometrial polyps, and adenomyosis, are often clinically associated with irregular uterine bleeding. These abnormalities can have similar B-mode characteristics but require different treatment. The objective of this study was to develop diagnostic techniques based on ultrasound strain imaging that would allow in vivo visualization and charac...
متن کاملImaging of the prostate with vibro-elastography: preliminary patient results
Introduction Prostate brachytherapy has been widely used for treating prostate cancer. Transrectal ultrasound (TRUS) is the primary imaging modality providing the guidance for brachytherapy. However, imaging and detection of the prostate with conventional B-mode TRUS still remains a challenging task due to the poor contrast between the prostate and surrounding tissues. Because prostate is a fir...
متن کاملThe patho-physiological sensitivity of cardiac MR elastography: Preliminary results
Introduction: Elastography is capable to directly measure tissue stiffness and therewith to provide a quantitative method for ‘palpating’ internal organs [1]. This is particularly interesting for cardiac applications since function is here based on the alteration of the stiffness, i.e. the shear modulus of the myocardium. Recently, cardiac MR elastography (MRE) was demonstrated by measuring ela...
