The product of 20 years of research, this book covers topics in
soft tissue elasticity in vivo, from measurement techniques to
clinical applications. It provides, for the first time, a single
source that systematically introduces the various techniques for in
vivo measurement of soft tissue elasticity in an effort to ease the
difficulty between learning technical details and clinical
applications of techniques. Measurement of Soft Tissue Elasticity
in Vivo: Techniques and Applications presents an overview of the
existing measurement methods, their physical principles,
assumptions, advantages, and disadvantages. Clinical applications
discussed include assessment of tissue fibrosis after radiotherapy,
articular cartilage degeneration, muscle contraction, cancer
staging, liver fibrosis progression, diabetic foot ulceration,
cornea stiffening, and wound healing. Techniques covered include
shear wave propagation methods, vibro-ultrasound methods, dynamic
holography, ultrasound and other indentation methods, and OCT-based
and other suction measurement methods. The book also proposes two
critical directions for future research in the field. One is to
standardize the terms, parameters, and test protocols used in
different fields. The second proposal is to standardize one
technique to dominate the field, while devices can be adapted to
fit the measuring requirements of different tissues. In doing so,
the results obtained for the same tissue by different clinicians
can be comparable and a standardized protocol can be established.
This book bridges the gap between the complexity of measuring
techniques and simplicity and accuracy of their clinical use. Its
comprehensiveness and clarity help new engineers in the field
develop analytical methods and allow clinicians to use these
techniques in their practice with greater confidence.
