Ultrasound Elastography: Review of Techniques and Clinical Applications

Elastography-based imaging techniques have received substantial attention in recent years for non-invasive assessment of tissue mechanical properties. These techniques take advantage of changed soft tissue elasticity in various pathologies to yield qualitative and quantitative information that can be used for diagnostic purposes. Measurements are acquired in specialized imaging modes that can d...

Clinical applications of musculoskeletal tissue engineering.

BACKGROUND Current surgical techniques for the repair of the musculoskeletal system can be often limited by the availability, quality and quantity of materials, such as grafts to effect repair. This has led to the exploration and development of novel methods of intervention based on tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. SOURCE OF DATA This review summarizes the successes and investiga...
