  2. Elastography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elastography

    In Bristol University's study Children of the 90s, 2.5% of 4,000 people born in 1991 and 1992 were found by ultrasound scanning at the age of 18 to have non-alcoholic fatty liver disease; five years later transient elastography found over 20% to have the fatty deposits on the liver of steatosis, indicating non-alcoholic fatty liver disease ...

  3. Magnetic resonance elastography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Magnetic_resonance_elastography

    MR elastography for detection of liver fibrosis in two patients. The left column shows the anatomy, with the liver outlined. The middle row shows images of propagating shear waves in the liver, captured with the MRE technique. The right column shows elastograms computed from the wave images, with tissue stiffness depicted with on color scale.

  4. Tomoelastography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tomoelastography

    Tomoelastography of the abdomen; upper a healthy state, lower with malignancy.. Tomoelastography (from ancient Greek τόμος tomos, “slice” and elastography – imaging of viscoelastic properties) is a medical imaging technique that provides quantitative maps of the mechanical properties of biological soft tissues with high spatial resolution (called elastograms).

  5. Breast imaging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breast_imaging

    A specific functional form of ultrasound is elastography which measures and displays the relative elasticity of tissues, which can be used to differentiate tumors from healthy tissue. [40] Recent studies have shown that shear wave elastography in primary invasive breast carcinoma could be useful for indicating axillary lymphadenopathy. [41]

  6. Thoracic wall - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thoracic_wall

    The bony skeletal part of the thoracic wall is the rib cage, and the rest is made up of muscle, skin, and fasciae.. The chest wall has 10 layers, namely (from superficial to deep) skin (epidermis and dermis), superficial fascia, deep fascia and the invested extrinsic muscles (from the upper limbs), intrinsic muscles associated with the ribs (three layers of intercostal muscles), endothoracic ...

  7. Optical coherence elastography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_coherence_elastography

    The first OCT elastography of arteries was done by the Brezinski group in 2004 [9] But the term optical coherence elastography was first coined in a 2004 paper with Brett Bouma. [10] Requiring no injections, OCE is a non-invasive imaging method can gives more details than ultrasound or MRI.

    Pulmonology (/ ˌ p ʌ l m ə ˈ n ɒ l ə dʒ i /, / ˌ p ʊ l m ə ˈ n ɒ l ə dʒ i /, from Latin pulmō, -ōnis "lung" and the Greek suffix -λογία-logía "study of"), pneumology (/ n ʊ ˈ m ɒ l ə dʒ i, n j ʊ-/, built on Greek πνεύμων pneúmōn "lung") or pneumonology [1] (/ n ʊ m ə n ˈ ɒ l ə dʒ i, n j ʊ-/) is a medical specialty that deals with diseases involving ...

  9. Strain (mechanics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strain_(mechanics)

    Physical insight into strains can be gained by observing that a given strain can be decomposed into normal and shear components. The amount of stretch or compression along material line elements or fibers is the normal strain , and the amount of distortion associated with the sliding of plane layers over each other is the shear strain , within ...
