OBJECTIVE: Ultrasound elastography is gaining traction as an accessible and useful diagnostic tool for things such as, cancer detection and differentiation and thyroid disease diagnostics. Unfortunately, state-of-the-art shear wave imaging techniques...
Quasi-static ultrasound elastography is an importance imaging technology to assess the conditions of various diseases through reconstructing the tissue strain from radio frequency data. State-of-the-art strain reconstruction techniques suffer from th...
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...
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...

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...
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...
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...
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...
