Article Abstract
Elastography applications require the use of efficient models to simulate the propagation of shear waves in soft media such as human tissues. These models are needed to improve understanding of the measured displacement field, to reconstruct the viscoelasticity of heterogeneous tissues, and to test inversion algorithms. This paper reports a numerical model based on a pseudospectral time domain method developed to simulate shear and compression wave propagation in an axisymmetric heterogeneous viscoelastic medium. This model was adapted to the study of soft tissues where the ratio between the compression and the shear wave velocity was about a thousand and validated in the homogeneous situation by comparison with an analytical model based on elastodynamic Green's functions. Displacements obtained experimentally using transient elastography are presented, compared with simulation results, and discussed.

Sectionally nonlinearly functionally graded (SNFG) structures with triply periodic minimal surface (TPMS) are considered ideal for bone implants because they closely replicate the hierarchical, anisotropic, and porous architecture of natural bone. The smooth gradient in material distribution allows for optimal load transfer, reduced stress shielding, and enhanced bone ingrowth, while TPMS provides high mechanical strength-to-weight ratio and interconnected porosity for vascularization and tissue integration. Wherein, The SNFG structure contains sections with thickness that varies nonlinearly along their length in different patterns.

The objective of this study was to assess the link between postpartum blood loss and placental elastography in multiparous pregnancies.In this prospective study, multiparous women who delivered at term between 2020 and 2024 were included. During the obstetric ultrasonography procedure, placental elastography was evaluated through the utilization of the shear wave elastography (SWE) technique.

Alterations in skeletal muscle morphology and composition are critical factors in cerebral palsy (CP), including changes in passive stiffness and in belly and fascicle lengths. In this study, we quantified the relative contributions of muscle and tendon to passive stiffness across the ankle range of motion in individuals with CP and typically developing (TD) peers. We also investigated morphological factors underlying increased muscle stiffness.

Background: Hepatic sinusoidal obstruction syndrome (SOS), or veno-occlusive disease (VOD), is a severe complication following hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), often leading to liver dysfunction and poor outcomes if not detected early. Traditional diagnostic methods, including ultrasound and liver biopsy, have limitations in sensitivity and feasibility. Non-invasive elastography techniques, such as transient elastography (TE) and shear-wave elastography (SWE), offer a promising alternative by quantitatively assessing liver stiffness.

Background: Accurate preoperative differentiation of parotid gland tumors (PGTs) is essential for facial nerve preservation. This study evaluates a novel, real-time multiparametric ultrasound (mpUS) approach combining B-mode, shear wave elastography (SWE), and contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS), based on qualitative image interpretation.
Methods: Eighty-nine patients with 91 PGTs underwent mpUS prior to surgery or ultrasound-guided biopsy.
