A novel Bayesian strategy for the identification of spatially-varying parameters and model validation in inverse problems: an application to elastography [PDF]

, 2012
The present paper proposes a novel Bayesian, a computational strategy in the context of model-based inverse problems in elastostatics. On one hand, we attempt to provide probabilistic estimates of the material properties and their spatial variability ...

Assessing Non-Invasive Liver Function in Patients With Intestinal Failure Receiving Total Parenteral Nutrition-Results From the Prospective PNLiver Trial [PDF]

, 2020
Liver abnormalities in intestinal failure (IF) patients receiving parenteral nutrition (PN) can progress undetected by standard laboratory tests to intestinal failure associated liver disease (IFALD). The aim of this longitudinal study is to evaluate the

Elastography in the assessment of the Achilles tendon: a systematic review of measurement properties

Journal of Foot and Ankle Research, 2023
Background Managing and rehabilitating Achilles tendinopathy can be difficult, and the results are often unsatisfactory. Currently, clinicians use ultrasonography to diagnose the condition and predict symptom development.

Identifying nonalcoholic fatty liver disease patients with active fibrosis by measuring extracellular matrix remodeling rates in tissue and blood. [PDF]

, 2016
Excess collagen synthesis (fibrogenesis) in the liver plays a causal role in the progression of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Methods are needed to identify patients with more rapidly progressing disease and to demonstrate early response to ...

Elastography in Hepatology [PDF]

Canadian Journal of Gastroenterology, 2007
A common characteristic of all chronic liver diseases is the occurrence and progression of fibrosis toward cirrhosis. Consequently, liver fibrosis assessment plays an important role in hepatology. Besides its importance for prognosis, determining the level of fibrosis reveals the natural history of the disease and the risk factors associated with its ...
