Elastography is an advanced branch of diagnostic imaging that focuses on evaluating the mechanical properties of tissues, offering insights that surpass the capabilities of conventional ultrasound. This technology allows for a detailed assessment of tissue stiffness and elasticity, which can be critical for diagnosing various conditions, including tumors and fibrotic diseases.
In our laboratory, we leverage elastography to improve the detection and diagnosis of a wide range of diseases. Our research explores advanced techniques such as crawling waves and reverberant shear waves elastography, along with their estimators. These methods enable us to enhance imaging accuracy and provide more comprehensive evaluations of tissue properties. By integrating these innovative techniques, we aim to push the boundaries of medical imaging and offer more precise diagnostic tools.
