Opis: Measurement of Soft Tissue Elasticity in Vivo - Yong-Ping Zheng, Yan-Ping Huang

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.History and Recent Development in Soft Tissue Elasticity Measurement Conventional Methods for Soft Tissue Elasticity Measurement in Vitro Introduction Methods for Measurement of Soft Tissue Elasticity Summary Indentation Measurement of Soft Tissue Elasticity Introduction Analysis Method for Traditional Indentation Ending Remarks Novel Indentation Measurement of Tissue Elasticity in Vivo Introduction Novel Indentation Measurement Nanoindentation Future Development of Indentation Suction Measurement of Tissue Elasticity in Vivo Introduction Analysis of Suction Test Summary Indirect Methods for Soft Tissue Elasticity Measurement in Vivo Introduction Resonant Frequency Shift Measurement Vibro-Acoustic Spectrography and Harmonic Motion Imaging Dynamic Holography Shear Wave Propagation Method Advantages, Problems and Future Perspectives Elasticity Imaging and Elasticity Measurement Introduction Elasticity Imaging Techniques Summary Elasticity, Non-Linearity and Viscoelasticity of Soft Tissues Introduction Origins of Non-Linearity and Viscoelasticity Modelling of Tissue Non-Linearity and Viscoelasticity Methods to Measure Viscoelasticity in Vivo Summary Finite Element Methods and Inverse Solutions for Elasticity Measurement Introduction Physics Foundation Modelling and Simulation Conclusion and Future Research Directions Clinical Applications of Soft Tissue Elasticity Measurement Introduction Applications in Understanding Tissue Physiology and Computer Modelling Applications in Disease Diagnosis and Treatment Monitoring Applications in Different Tissue Parts Related Devices in the Market Summary Conclusions and Future Perspectives Technical Perspective Application Perspective
