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

Engineering Ultrasound Contrast Agents for Targeted Therapeutics: A Theranostic Approach to Drug Delivery, Gene Therapy, and Immunomodulation

open access: yesAdvanced NanoBiomed Research, Volume 6, Issue 2, February 2026.
Ultrasound contrast agents, including microbubbles and nanobubbles, transform imaging and targeted therapy through precise engineering of size, shell composition, and surface properties. This review explores how these innovations enable tissue‐specific delivery, enhance therapeutic efficacy, and extend applications from vascular imaging to tumor ...

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.

Multiparametric Ultrasound for Preoperative Assessment of Parotid Tumors: A Novel Diagnostic Pathway

open access: yesHead &Neck, Volume 48, Issue 2, Page 392-406, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Accurate preoperative differentiation of parotid gland tumors (PGTs) is essential for facial nerve preservation. This study evaluates a novel, real‐time multiparametric ultrasound (mpUS) approach combining B‐mode, shear wave elastography (SWE), and contrast‐enhanced ultrasound (CEUS), based on qualitative image interpretation ...

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 ...

Reliability and Repeatability of Diffusion Tensor Imaging in Healthy and Pathological Patellar Tendons

open access: yesJournal of Orthopaedic Research, Volume 44, Issue 2, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Patellar tendinopathy and bone‐patellar tendon‐bone autograft harvest for anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction are tendon injuries that impact long‐term knee health. Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is a non‐invasive magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) based approach with the potential to assess tendon microstructure.

Mechanopharmacology of cellular microenvironment stiffness: Therapeutic strategies for age‐related diseases

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, Volume 183, Issue 4, Page 945-956, February 2026.
Ageing brings about various biochemical, structural and mechanical alterations within tissues, profoundly impacting cellular behaviour and function. One of the hallmark changes observed with ageing is an increase in cellular microenvironment stiffness, a biomechanical property influenced by intrinsic factors within the cell and extrinsic factors from ...
