Engineering approaches for characterizing soft tissue mechanical properties: A review.

Clinical biomechanics (Bristol, Avon)
From cancer diagnosis to detailed characterization of arterial wall biomechanics, the elastic property of tissues is widely studied as an early sign of disease onset. The fibrous structural features of tissues are a direct measure of its health and f...

Point Shear Wave Elastography Using Machine Learning to Differentiate Renal Cell Carcinoma and Angiomyolipoma.

Ultrasound in medicine & biology
The question of whether ultrasound point shear wave elastography can differentiate renal cell carcinoma (RCC) from angiomyolipoma (AML) is controversial. This study prospectively enrolled 51 patients with 52 renal tumors (42 RCCs, 10 AMLs). We obtain...

Machine Learning Prediction of Liver Stiffness Using Clinical and T2-Weighted MRI Radiomic Data.

AJR. American journal of roentgenology
The purpose of this study is to develop a machine learning model to categorically classify MR elastography (MRE)-derived liver stiffness using clinical and nonelastographic MRI radiomic features in pediatric and young adult patients with known or su...

Temporal stability assessment in shear wave elasticity images validated by deep learning neural network for chronic liver disease fibrosis stage assessment.

Medical physics
PURPOSE: To automatically detect and isolate areas of low and high stiffness temporal stability in shear wave elastography (SWE) image sequences and define their impact in chronic liver disease (CLD) diagnosis improvement by means of clinical examina...

Dual-mode artificially-intelligent diagnosis of breast tumours in shear-wave elastography and B-mode ultrasound using deep polynomial networks.

Medical engineering & physics
The main goal of this study is to build an artificial intelligence (AI) architecture for automated extraction of dual-modal image features from both shear-wave elastography (SWE) and B-mode ultrasound, and to evaluate the AI architecture for classifi...

Data-Driven Elasticity Imaging Using Cartesian Neural Network Constitutive Models and the Autoprogressive Method.

IEEE transactions on medical imaging
Quasi-static elasticity imaging techniques rely on model-based mathematical inverse methods to estimate mechanical parameters from force-displacement measurements. These techniques introduce simplifying assumptions that preclude exploration of unknow...

Dictionary Representations for Electrode Displacement Elastography.

IEEE transactions on ultrasonics, ferroelectrics, and frequency control
Ultrasound electrode displacement elastography (EDE) has demonstrated the potential to monitor ablated regions in human patients after minimally invasive microwave ablation procedures. Displacement estimation for EDE is commonly plagued by decorrelat...

Assessment of Carotid Artery Plaque Components With Machine Learning Classification Using Homodyned-K Parametric Maps and Elastograms.

IEEE transactions on ultrasonics, ferroelectrics, and frequency control
Quantitative ultrasound (QUS) imaging methods, including elastography, echogenicity analysis, and speckle statistical modeling, are available from a single ultrasound (US) radio-frequency data acquisition. Since these US imaging methods provide compl...

Deep learning Radiomics of shear wave elastography significantly improved diagnostic performance for assessing liver fibrosis in chronic hepatitis B: a prospective multicentre study.

Gut
OBJECTIVE: We aimed to evaluate the performance of the newly developed deep learning Radiomics of elastography (DLRE) for assessing liver fibrosis stages. DLRE adopts the radiomic strategy for quantitative analysis of the heterogeneity in two-dimensi...

Ultrasound Characterization of Bone Demineralization Using a Support Vector Machine.

Ultrasound in medicine & biology
We propose an ultrasound-guided remote measurement technique, utilizing an acoustic radiation force beam as our excitation source and a receiving hydrophone, to assess non-invasively a bone's mechanical properties. Features, such as velocity, were ex...
