Tissue Elasticity Imaging: Volume 1: Theory and Methods

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. Offers the first comprehensive reference on elasticity imagingDiscusses the fundamentals of technology, limitations and their solutions, advanced methods and future directionsAddresses the technology as well as the applications useful to both researchers and clinical practitionersIncludes an online reference section regularly updated with advances in technology and applications INDICE: 1.
