Investigation of Shape Functions Role on the Mesh-free Method Application in Soft Tissue Elastography
In current study, The Mesh-free method based on weak-form formulation coupled with the ultrasound imaging technique is developed. This problem consists in computing the deformation of an elastic non-homogenous phantom by numerical methods (both Mesh-free and Finite Element) and converge their results to the measured deformation by the ultrasound. The shape functions of Mesh-free are approximate...
متن کاملFractional encoding of harmonic motions in MR elastography.
In MR elastography (MRE) shear waves are magnetically encoded by bipolar gradients that usually oscillate with the same frequency fv as the mechanical vibration. As a result, both the repetition time (TR) and echo time (TE) of such an MRE sequence are greater than the vibration period 1/fv. This causes long acquisition times and considerable signal dephasing in tissue with short transverse rela...
متن کاملMR-elastography reveals degradation of tissue integrity in multiple sclerosis
In multiple sclerosis (MS), diffuse brain parenchymal damage exceeding focal inflammation is increasingly recognized to be present from the very onset of the disease, and, although occult to conventional imaging techniques, may present a major cause of permanent neurological disability. Subtle tissue alterations significantly influence biomechanical properties given by stiffness and internal fr...
متن کاملIn vivo time-harmonic multifrequency elastography of the human liver.
Elastography is capable of noninvasively detecting hepatic fibrosis by imposing mechanical stress and measuring the viscoelastic response in the liver. Magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) relies on time-harmonic vibrations, while most dynamic ultrasound elastography methods employ transient stimulation methods. This study attempts to benefit from the advantages of time-harmonic tissue stimula...
متن کاملInfluence of Perfusion on Tissue Stiffness Assessed with MR Elastography
Introduction: MR Elastography (MRE) is an MRI-based technique for quantitatively assessing the mechanical properties of soft tissues by studying the propagation of shear waves. Multiple studies have reported on developments of MRE to quantitatively assess the viscoelastic properties of organs including the brain (1), breast (2), heart (3), lung (4), muscle (5), liver (6), spleen (7), kidneys (8...
