摘要
Elasticity imaging techniques combine the concept of tissue elasticity and modern imaging systems to assess the elastic properties of tissues such as Young's modulus, Poisson's ratio, and viscosity. This technology is the result of a merger of several related fields, namely, the study of tissue elastic constants, the study of tissue contrast differences and tissue motion using imaging systems, and the study of vibrating targets using coherent radiation. The early applications of this technology has been quite promising, and the results clearly indicate that new information, previously unavailable in conventional imaging modalities, can now be obtained.
