Characterization of the nonlinear elastic properties of soft tissues using the supersonic shear imaging (SSI) technique: Inverse method, ex vivo and in vivo experiments
A novel method to measure nonlinear elastic properties of soft tissues based on SSI technique. Ex vivo experiments were performed to validate the method. In vivo experiments were conducted to demonstrate the usefulness of the method. Extension of the analysis method to other material models was addressed.
