Quantifying the Elastic Property of Nine Thigh Muscles Using Magnetic Resonance Elastography
BACKGROUND Pathologies of the muscles can manifest different physiological and functional changes. To adapt treatment, it is necessary to characterize the elastic property (shear modulus) of single muscles. Previous studies have used magnetic resonance elastography (MRE), a technique based on MRI technology, to analyze the mechanical behavior of healthy and pathological muscles. The purpose of ...

متن کاملDetermination of thigh muscle stiffness using magnetic resonance elastography.
PURPOSE To measure the elastic properties of the vastus lateralis (VL), vastus medialis (VM), and sartorius (Sr) muscles using magnetic resonance elastography (MRE). MATERIALS AND METHODS To obtain a normative database of the aforementioned muscles, oblique scan directions were prescribed passing through each muscle. Shear waves were induced into the muscles using pneumatic and mechanical dri...
متن کاملQuantifying spasticity in individual muscles using shear wave elastography
Spasticity is common following stroke; however, high subject variability and unreliable measurement techniques limit research and treatment advances. Our objective was to investigate the use of shear wave elastography (SWE) to characterize the spastic reflex in the biceps brachii during passive elbow extension in an individual with spasticity. The patient was a 42-year-old right-hand-dominant m...
متن کاملDynamic Magnetic Resonance Elastography
There is strong precedent in clinical medicine for the concept that tissue viscoelastic properties, assessed by palpation, are markedly affected by a variety of disease processes. Student physicians learn that the presence of a hard mass in the thyroid, breast, or prostate is suspicious for malignancy. Indeed, many tumors of these structures are still first detected by touch. It is not uncommon...
