Optical elastography, the use of optics to characterize and map the mechanical properties of biological tissue, involves measuring the deformation of tissue in response to a load. Such measurements ...

Ultrasound-based shear wave elastography methods enabling liver stiffness measurements have been implemented for noninvasive assessment of liver fibrosis, with biopsy reserved for uncertain ...

FibroScan is the brand name for transient elastography, an abdominal ultrasound that measures the stiffness of liver tissues. The scan can help screen for scarring or fibrosis (tough connective tissue ...

Intra-operative shear wave elastography, showing the brain tumour lying under the ventricles. (Courtesy: CC BY 4.0/Front. Oncol. 10.3389/fonc.2021.619286) Shear wave elastography can detect the ...

The global elastography imaging market is experiencing significant growth, with projections indicating that the industry will reach USD 7.9 billion by 2032, expanding at a robust compound annual ...

This briefing describes the regulated use of the technology for the indication specified, in the setting described, and with any other specific equipment referred to. It is the responsibility of ...

A new study uses magnetic resonance elastography to compare the stiffness of the hippocampus in patients who have epilepsy with healthy individuals. The technique can improve the detection and ...

A liver scan describes a specialized imaging test that examines the liver to help identify certain conditions, assess liver function, and monitor treatment progress. The liver is the largest solid ...

Cells quake. In somewhat the same way that seismologists use the vibrations of planet Earth to characterize its deep structure, scientists have discovered a way to use vibrations within cells to ...

Community-based lung cancer screening adherence to Lung-RADS recommendations. MRE parameters MRI background parenchymal enhancement (BPE) by breast density and risk status.

A new X-ray imaging technique could identify lesions and tumors before ultrasound or MRI can. We all learnt in school that the beams from x-ray machines pass right through soft tissues like skin and ...
