EUS-Guided Shear-Wave-Based Elastography: Current Evidence and the Emerging Role of Two-Dimensional Shear-Wave Elastography [PDF]
DiagnosticsElastography is an ultrasound-based technique that enables the non-invasive assessment of tissue stiffness. In endoscopic ultrasound (EUS), elastography was initially introduced as a strain-based method, providing qualitative or semi-quantitative ...

Viscoelasticity Imaging of Biological Tissues and Single Cells Using Shear Wave Propagation
Frontiers in Physics, 2021 Changes in biomechanical properties of biological soft tissues are often associated with physiological dysfunctions. Since biological soft tissues are hydrated, viscoelasticity is likely suitable to represent its solid-like behavior using elasticity and ...
