Muscle shear elastic modulus measured using supersonic shear imaging is highly related to muscle activity level.

This pilot study was designed to determine whether the shear elastic modulus measured using supersonic shear imaging can be used to accurately estimate muscle activity level. Using direct visual feedback of torque, six healthy subjects were asked to perform two incremental isometric elbow flexions, consisting of linear torque ramps of 30 s from 0 to 40% of maximal voluntary contraction. Both el...

Real-time visualization of muscle stiffness distribution with ultrasound shear wave imaging during muscle contraction.

A stand-alone ultrasound shear wave imaging technology has been developed to quantify and visualize Young's modulus distribution by remotely applying ultrasound radiation force and tracking the resulting microvibrations in soft tissues with ultrafast ultrasound imaging. We report the first preliminary data that detected the distribution of local muscle stiffness within and between resting and c...

Anisotropic Elasticity & Viscosity Deduced from Supersonic Shear Imaging in Muscle

INTRODUCTION Although the role of viscoelasticity in muscle mechanics is well recognized, methods for measurement in situ are limited. Recent advances in elastography have made possible the imaging of viscoelastic moduli within individual muscles [1, 2]. We have investigated a new approach, supersonic shear imaging (SSI), which combines high frame-rate (5kHz) ultrasound with acoustic radiation ...

Determination of Achilles Tendon Slack Length Using Supersonic Shear Imaging

Passive mechanical properties of the musculo-articular complex are classically studied using passive torque-angle curves. However, the mechanical properties of each structure of this musculo-articular complex (e.g., muscle, tendon) cannot be dissociated from this relationship. We recently showed that supersonic shear imaging is able to accurately quantify muscle shear elastic modulus of one mus...

Shear wave speed recovery in transient elastography and supersonic imaging using propagating fronts

Transient elastography and supersonic imaging are promising new techniques for characterizing the elasticity of soft tissues. Using this method, an ‘ultrafast imaging’ system (up to 10 000 frames s−1) follows in real time the propagation of a low frequency shear wave. The displacement of the propagating shear wave is measured as a function of time and space. The objective of this paper is to de...
