Magnetic Resonance Elastography [PDF]

Current Medical Imaging Reviews, 2012
Often compared to the practice of manual palpation, magnetic resonance elastography is an emerging technology for quantitatively assessing the mechanical properties of tissue as a basis for characterizing disease. The potential of MRE as a diagnostic tool is rooted in the fact that normal and diseased tissues often differ significantly in terms of ...

A Wearable System Featuring Biomimetic Spatially Distributed Iontronic Sensing Array for Dynamic Monitoring of Deep Tissue Modulus

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A fully wearable system enables real‐time, dynamic, and accurate monitoring of Young's modulus in multilayer tissues containing deep muscle. It demonstrates high accuracy and robustness across simulations, benchtop validations, and human testing. It quantifies edema severity and tracks muscle stiffness during rest, loaded elbow flexion, rope skipping ...

Liver Stiffness Rises Early in MASLD and Drives Inflammation, Lipid Dysmetabolism, and Fibrosis via Piezo1–YAP Mechanotransduction

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Progressive stiffening of the hepatic extracellular matrix and free fatty acid overload activate the mechanosensor Piezo1 in steatotic hepatocytes, inducing calcium influx and nuclear translocation of Yes‐associated protein. YAP‐dependent nuclear signaling further drives inflammatory and fibrotic gene programs, lipid metabolic reprogramming, and ...

Evaluation of liver stiffness measurement–based scores in liver transplantation recipients

Liver Transplantation, EarlyView., 2022
Abstract Combining bioclinical parameters with liver stiffness measurement (LSM) has improved the diagnostic performance of vibration‐controlled transient elastography (VCTE) for detection of advanced fibrosis in patients with chronic liver disease. However, this approach has not yet been tested in liver transplantation (LT) recipients.

Ultrasound Vascular Elastography as a Tool for Assessing Atherosclerotic Plaques – A Systematic Literature Review

Ultrasound International Open, 2016
Atherosclerosis is a widespread disease that accounts for nearly 3-quarters of deaths due to cardiovascular disease. Ultrasound elastography might be able to reliably identify characteristics associated with vulnerable plaques.

Advancing the Tendinopathy Triad: Comment on “Tendinopathy: The Interplay Between Mechanical Stress, Inflammation, and Vascularity”

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Abstract Building upon the integrative framework of tendinopathy proposed by Gehwolf et al.—which elegantly connects mechanical stress, inflammation, and vascularity—this commentary extends the discussion by introducing novel mechanistic insights and future research directions that move beyond the established triad. A paradigm shift is proposed ...

Diagnosis of Thyroid Nodules by Elastography

Journal of Surgical Ultrasound, 2021
Ultrasonography is mandatory for the evaluation of thyroid nodules. Although B-mode and Doppler ultrasonography are both sensitive for the diagnosis of thyroid lesions, they lack specificity in differentiating benign from malignant nodules.

Endobronchial ultrasound elastography

Endoscopic Ultrasound, 2016
Elastographic techniques have recently become available as advanced diagnostic tools for tissue characterization. Strain elastography is a real-time technique used with transcutaneous ultrasound (US) and endoscopic US. Convincing evidence is available demonstrating a significant value of strain elastography for the discrimination of benign and ...
