Evaluation of iridociliary and lenticular elasticity using shear-wave elastography in rabbit eyes.

Evaluation of the diagnostic function of shear wave elastography in the differentiation of malignant and benign breast masses and its relationship with histological factors

Background: Shear wave elastography (SWE) estimates the stiffness of a mass based on the velocity of shear wave propagation by sound waves. Due to higher cell density and angiogenesis, malignant masses have higher stiffness than benign ones. Methods: The present study was a prospective study and was performed on patients who were referred to Ahvaz Golestan Hospital with breast mass during Marc...

Quantifying the passive stretching response of human tibialis anterior muscle using shear wave elastography.

BACKGROUND Quantifying passive stretching responses of individual muscles helps the diagnosis of muscle disorders and aids the evaluation of surgical/rehabilitation treatments. Utilizing an animal model, we demonstrated that shear elastic modulus measured by supersonic shear wave elastography increases linearly with passive muscle force. This study aimed to use this state-of-the-art technology ...

Quantitative Evaluation of Elasticity in the Posteroinferior Shoulder Joint Capsules of Collegiate Baseball Players Using Shear-Wave Ultrasound Elastography

Elucidation of Isotropic and Anisotropic Shear Elasticity of in vivo Soft Tissue using Planar Magnetic Resonance

Magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) is a noninvasive method that allows the determination of in vivo shear elasticity of soft tissues. In this thesis methods for the determination of isotropic and anisotropic shear elasticities from MRE wave data were developed and evaluated. All methods presented in this work are based on planar MRE, i.e. they are based on the measurement of a single displac...

Three dimensional shear wave scattering MR elastography

Introduction: Magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) is a non invasive method that combines externally applied vibrations with the motion sensitivity of MRI to measure the shear elasticity soft tissues [1]. In MRE this is traditionally achieved by solving an inverse problem with MRE shear wave images as input data [2]. A complementary approach, which does not require the solution of an inverse p...
