Ultrasound Med Biol 32:857-74. 2006
..Thus, premature clinical trials may be avoided...
Stability of heterogeneous elastography phantoms made from oil dispersions in aqueous gelsErnest L Madsen
Department of Medical Physics, University of Wisconsin, Madison, WI 53706, USA
Ultrasound Med Biol 32:261-70. 2006
..This finding was established by the fact that the (true) elastic contrasts determined using samples excised from the phantoms themselves agreed with the elastic contrasts obtained using the homogeneous production samples...
Spherical lesion phantoms for testing the performance of elastography systemsErnest L Madsen
Department of Medical Physics, University of Wisconsin, 1300 University Avenue, Room 1530, Madison, WI, USA
Phys Med Biol 50:5983-95. 2005
..Neither system was capable of detecting any of the 1.6 mm lesions. Phantoms such as these should be useful in research labs that are refining hardware and/or software for elastography...
Frequency-dependent complex modulus of the uterus: preliminary resultsMiklos Z Kiss
Department of Medical Physics, University of Wisconsin, Madison, WI 53706, USA
Phys Med Biol 51:3683-95. 2006
..Normal uterine tissue possessed modulus values over the same range, while leiomyomas, or uterine fibroids, exhibited values ranging from approximately 60-220 kPa...
Tissue-mimicking agar/gelatin materials for use in heterogeneous elastography phantomsErnest L Madsen
Department of Medical Physics, University of Wisconsin, Madison, WI 53706, USA
Phys Med Biol 50:5597-618. 2005
..A small increase of about 10% in volume of the cylindrical inclusions occurred-a tolerable increase. Interestingly, the smallest increase (about 5%) occurred in the phantom with the largest elastic contrast...
