Contactless Remote Induction of Shear Waves in Soft Tissues Using a Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation Device

open access: yes, 2016
This study presents the first observation of shear wave induced remotely within soft tissues. It was performed through the combination of a transcranial magnetic stimulation device and a permanent magnet.

Assessment of Skin in Patients With Systemic Sclerosis Using High‐Frequency Ultrasound and Shear Wave Elastography: A Comparative Study With Histology, Molecular, and Clinical Parameters

open access: yesArthritis Care &Research, Volume 78, Issue 5, Page 582-590, May 2026.
Objective Ultrasound (US) has been proposed as a potential tool for assessing skin fibrosis in systemic sclerosis (SSc). However, a large‐scale comparison of US‐based assessment with histologic markers of skin fibrosis has not been reported. We evaluated US‐based skin assessments for their face validity (differentiation between involved SSc and healthy

Performance Study of a Torsional Wave Sensor and Cervical Tissue Characterization

open access: yesSensors, 2017
A novel torsional wave sensor designed to characterize mechanical properties of soft tissues is presented in this work. Elastography is a widely used technique since the 1990s to map tissue stiffness. Moreover, quantitative elastography uses the velocity

Liver Stiffness Characterization of OGTLKO Mouse Model of Progressive Liver Fibrosis

open access: yesJournal of Ultrasound in Medicine, Volume 45, Issue 5, Page 1069-1082, May 2026.
Objectives O‐GlcNAcylation plays a key regulatory role in hepatic physiology, and its disruption leads to fibrosis in liver‐specific OGT knockout mice (OGTLKO), making this model valuable for studying advanced metabolic dysfunction‐associated steatohepatitis (MASH).

Two-Dimensional Shear-Wave Elastography of the Thyroid in Clinically Healthy Dogs in Different Age Groups

open access: yesAnimals
The thyroid of dogs has not been extensively studied in 2D shear-wave elastography, making it challenging to apply this technique in the diagnosis of thyroid diseases in a non-invasive manner.

A new method for shear wave speed estimation in shear wave elastography

open access: yesIEEE Transactions on Ultrasonics, Ferroelectrics, and Frequency Control, 2015
Visualization of mechanical properties of tissue can aid in noninvasive pathology diagnosis. Shear wave elastography (SWE) measures the elastic properties of soft tissues by estimation of local shear wave propagation speed. In this paper, a new robust method for estimation of shear wave speed is introduced which has the potential for simplifying ...

Exploring the Role of Vascular Factors and Tissue Properties in Pulsatile Brain Deformation

open access: yesNMR in Biomedicine, Volume 39, Issue 5, May 2026.
This study combined strain tensor imaging (STI), intrinsic magnetic resonance elastography (iMRE), and atlas‐based regional metrics to explore physiological drivers of cardiac‐induced brain strain. Volumetric strain was mainly associated with vascular factors such as cerebral blood volume and pulse pressure, whereas octahedral shear strain correlated ...

Echocardiography, Bile Acids and Spleen Stiffness to Rule Out High‐Risk Varices in Children With Biliary Atresia

open access: yesLiver International, Volume 46, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Detecting gastroesophageal varices with a high risk of bleeding (HRV) in children with biliary atresia requires endoscopies from an early age to apply primary prophylaxis of bleeding. However, repeated endoscopies are invasive and costly.

Prognostication of Liver Disease Patients via the WFUMB ‘Rule‐of‐4’ Algorithm Using SSI‐2D‐SWE‐Based Liver Stiffness Measurement

open access: yesLiver International, Volume 46, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Background The World Federation for Ultrasound in Medicine and Biology (WFUMB) guidance update 2024 proposed a ‘rule‐of‐4’ using ARFI liver stiffness measurement (LSM) to stratify the risk of decompensation events. This rule identifies advanced chronic liver disease (ACLD) at a threshold of ≥ 13 kPa and indicates a high probability of ...

Photoacoustic elastography based on laser-excited shear wave

open access: yesJournal of Innovative Optical Health Sciences
Elastography can be used as a diagnostic method for quantitative characterization of tissue hardness information and thus, differential changes in pathophysiological states of tissues.
