  1. 1. Anisotropic Muscle Phantoms for Shear Wave Elastography Assessment of the Levator Ani Muscle Properties

    University essay from KTH/Medicinteknik och hälsosystem

    Author : Bleona Koxha; Melissa Jova Martinez; [2023]
    Keywords : pelvic floor disorder; levator ani muscle; shear wave elastography; phantom; anisotropy; polyvinyl alcohol; bäckenbottenbesvär; levator ani muskel; shear wave elastografi; fantom; anisotropi; polyvinylalkohol;

    Abstract : Pelvic floor disorder is an emerging research area and is highlighted in many pelvic floor studies. Assessment methods for this type of injury are lacking and new methods for prevention and diagnosis are needed. Pelvic floor disorders are common among women and can lead to suffering for the patient. READ MORE

  3. 2. Synthesizing of brain MRE wave data

    University essay from KTH/Medicinsk avbildning

    Author : Maryia Yuliuhina; [2023]
    Keywords : MR elastography; brain MRE; synthetic data; computational modeling; shear wave elastography; MR-elastografi; hjärn MRE; syntetiska data; beräkningsmodellering; skjuvvåg elastografi;

    Abstract : Magnetic resonance elastography (MRE) is an imaging technique that allows for non-invasive access to the physical properties of body tissues. MRE has great potential, but it is difficult to conduct research due to the time-consuming estimation of stiffness maps, which could be speeded up by using neural network. READ MORE

  4. 3. Implementation of Shear Wave Elastography in Cervical Applications

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknik och hälsa (STH)

    Author : Anna Larsson; [2016]
    Keywords : Shear wave elastography; cervix; stiffness; Verasonics; curvilinear transducer;

    Abstract : Each year million of babies are born pre-term, some of these pre-term births occur due to the motherhaving a too soft cervix which can not withstand the forces the baby exposes it to. The aim of thisstudy was to implement and evaluate a programmable shear wave elastography ultrasound system forcervical applications and investigate the optimal settings of shear wave elastography push voltage andshear wave elastography push focus depth.

  5. 4. Assessment of Shear Wave Elastography Acoustic Output - a Simulation and Experimental Study

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknik och hälsa (STH)

    Author : Cristiana Golfetto; [2016]
    Keywords : Technology;

    Abstract : Shear Wave Elastography (SWE) is a medical imaging modality which is able to measure tissue stiffness through the speed of ultrasound-induced shear waves. Pre- vious studies have reviewed the safety aspects of clinical ultrasound, highlighting the harmlessness of the technique. READ MORE

  6. 5. Dual-Probe Shear Wave Elastography in a Transversely Isotropic Phantom

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknik och hälsa (STH)

    Author : Gioia Bassan; [2015]
    Keywords : Shear Wave Elastography; Transversely isotropic phantom;

    Abstract : Shear Wave Elastography (SWE) is an ultrasound based technique which is able to measure tissue stiffness through the speed of induced shear waves. Tissue stiffness is often related to pathological conditions and detecting mechanical changes can help the recognition of potential diseases. READ MORE
