How to test very soft biological tissues in extension?
Mechanical properties of very soft tissues, such as brain, liver and kidney, until recently have largely escaped the attention of researchers because these tissues do not bear mechanical loads. However, developments in Computer-Integrated and Robot-Aided Surgery - in particular, the emergence of automatic surgical tools and robots - as well as advances in Virtual Reality techniques, require clo...
متن کاملStress-dependent finite growth in soft elastic tissues.
Growth and remodeling in tissues may be modulated by mechanical factors such as stress. For example, in cardiac hypertrophy, alterations in wall stress arising from changes in mechanical loading lead to cardiac growth and remodeling. A general continuum formulation for finite volumetric growth in soft elastic tissues is therefore proposed. The shape change of an unloaded tissue during growth is...
متن کاملMeasurement of ultrasonic velocity in several biological tissues.
-The ultrasonic velocity at 100MHz and room temperature (23-26°C) was measured in fresh, excised mammalian liver, kidney, spleen, and pancreas and mouse kidney. The results show excellent agreement with measurements at low MHz frequencies. A significant velocity difference is reported between kidney cortex and medulla, but no difference was observed between the exocrine and islets of Langerhans...
متن کاملDynamics of elastic interactions in soft and biological matter.
Cells probe their mechanical environment and can change the organization of their cytoskeletons when the elastic and viscous properties of their environment are modified. We use a model in which the forces exerted by small, contractile acto-myosin filaments (e.g., nascent stress fibers in stem cells) on the extracellular matrix are modeled as local force dipoles. In some cases, the strain field...
متن کاملUltrasonic shear wave properties of soft tissues and tissuelike materials.
Determinations of shear wave speeds of sound and attenuation coefficients are reported for soft tissues, a silicone rubber reference material, and a gel used in manufacturing ultrasonically tissue-mimicking materials. Fresh bovine tissues were investigated, including calfskin, liver, cardiac muscle, and striated muscle. Because of the very large shear wave attenuation coefficients, reasonably a...
