EFSUMB Guidelines and Recommendations on the Clinical Use of Ultrasound Elastography. Part 1: Basic Principles and Technology (2013, neutral): “Sufficient force for this purpose can be generated with a standard ultrasound scanner at depths of many centi-metres by a sequence of rapid bursts of long (tens of μ s) focussed ultrasound pulses [37].”
Short-Lag Spatial Coherence of Backscattered Echoes: Imaging Characteristics (2011, positive): “The axial resolution of the coherence images is approximately equal to the correlation kernel length convolved with half the pulse length, as in correlation-based imaging techniques such as arFI [29], [30] and elastography [31], [32].”
WFUMB guidelines and recommendations for clinical use of ultrasound elastography: Part 1: basic principles and terminology. (2015, methodology): “In this case, the location in the elastogram can be induced using focused ultrasound beams has been devised (Nightingale et al., 2001, Nightingale et al., 2002) and is commercially available.”
Coherent plane-wave compounding for very high frame rate ultrasonography and transient elastography (2009, methodology): “This method is used in other elastographic methods like the acoustic radiation force imaging [29], [30] or the vibroacoustography approach [31].”
EASL-ALEH Clinical Practice Guidelines: Non-invasive tests for evaluation of liver disease severity and prognosis. (2015, background): “pSWE/ARFI involves mechanical excitation of tissue using short-duration ( 262 lsec) acoustic pulses that propagate shear waves and generate localized, l-scale displacements in tissue [89].”
Evaluation of neoadjuvant chemotherapy response in women with locally advanced breast cancer using ultrasound elastography. (2013, methodology): “Another method, acoustic radiation force impulse imaging, provides an alternative method of estimating tissue stiffness [38,39].”
Acoustic Radiation Force Elasticity Imaging in Diagnostic Ultrasound (2013, positive): “Images can be created to reflect the tissue displacement at a specific time following excitation, the maximum tissue displacement, or the time it takes to reach the maximum displacement [36].”
Rapid tracking of small displacements with ultrasound (2006, background): “These displacements are small (typically less than 10 μm), and they reflect information about the local mechanical properties of tissue [1]–[3].”
Supersonic shear imaging: a new technique for soft tissue elasticity mapping (2004, methodology): “[6], acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI) imaging consists in focusing an ultrasonic beam deep in tissues during a long time (typically 100 μs) and measuring the resulting displacement at focus using ultrasonic correlation-based techniques.”
