Tissue Elasticity Imaging: Volume 1: Theory and Methods

2017 | Science & Mathematics

Tissue Elasticity Imaging: Volume 1: Theory and Methods offers an extensive treatment of the fundamentals and applications of this ground-breaking diagnostic modality. This first volume introduces elasticity imaging and its history, and describes the fundamental physics and different elasticity imaging methods, implementation details, problems and artifacts. This book is an essential resource for all researchers and practitioners (including scientists, radiologists, urologists, fellows and residents) interested in any elasticity imaging modality. Many diseases including cancers change the tissue mechanical properties. Conventional methods cannot detect these changes; however, elasticity images, produced by slow tissue deformation or low-frequency vibration, can display these changes. Different elasticity imaging methods may be optimal for different applications.
