Rabbit lung hemorrhage induced by acoustic radiation force impulse in clinical settings

A Finite Element Model of Shear Wave Propagation Induced By an Acoustic Radiation Force Impulse

Shear wave elastography is an innovative technique that employs one conventional focused ultrasound beam to induce shear waves and another to detect them. The final quantitative elasticity image is presented as a colour map overlaying the B-mode image. This new technique is used in combination with traditional ultrasound imaging in order to improve the specificity of distinguishing malignant an...

Acoustic Radiation Force Impulse Measurement in Renal Transplantation

Interstitial fibrosis and tubular atrophy (IF/TA) is a common cause of kidney allograft loss. Several noninvasive techniques developed to assess tissue fibrosis are widely used to examine the liver. However, relatively few studies have investigated the use of elastographic methods to assess transplanted kidneys. The aim of this study was to explore the clinical implications of the acoustic radi...

Magnetic resonance acoustic radiation force (impulse) imaging (MR-ARFI)

Background/introduction MR-ARFI adds to the rich toolbox of MR imaging methods for guiding focused ultrasound. MRI has exquisite soft tissue contrast for targeting focused ultrasound and a variety of contrast mechanisms for assessing the effect of focused ultrasound. In addition, MR can provide temperature mapping in near-realtime. MR-ARFI is an imaging method that compliments these other capab...
