An integrated indenter-ARFI imaging system for tissue stiffness quantificationLiang Zhai
Department of Biomedical Engineering, Duke University, Durham, NC 27708, USA
Ultrason Imaging 30:95-111. 2008..Normalized displacement curves across the lesion surface were calculated and compared. Good agreement ofthe lesion profiles was observed between indentation and ARFI imaging...
Acoustic radiation force impulse imaging of human prostates ex vivoLiang Zhai
Department of Biomedical Engineering, Duke University Durham, NC 27708 0281, USA
Ultrasound Med Biol 36:576-88. 2010..This study demonstrates that ARFI imaging can be used to visualize internal structures and detecting suspicious lesions in the prostate and appears promising for image guidance of prostate biopsy...
Characterizing stiffness of human prostates using acoustic radiation forceLiang Zhai
Department of Biomedical Engineering, Duke University, Durham, NC 27708, USA
Ultrason Imaging 32:201-13. 2010..The results indicate an inverse relation between ARFI displacement amplitude and reconstructed shear modulus at all depths. These findings support the conclusion that ARFI prostate images portray underlying tissue stiffness variations...
Acoustic radiation force impulse imaging of human prostates: initial in vivo demonstrationLiang Zhai
Department of Biomedical Engineering, Duke University, Durham, NC 27708 0281, USA
Ultrasound Med Biol 38:50-61. 2012..Even with these limitations, this study suggests ARFI imaging holds promise for guidance of targeted prostate needle biopsy and focal therapy, as well as aiding assessment of changes during watchful waiting/active surveillance...
Acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI) imaging of the gastrointestinal tractMark L Palmeri
Department of Biomedical Engineering, Duke University, Durham, NC 27708, USA
Ultrason Imaging 27:75-88. 2005..These findings support the clinical feasibility of endocavity ARFI imaging to guide diagnosis and staging of disease processes in the GI tract...
