Elastic Moduli of Breast and Prostate Tissues under Compression
TLDR
To evaluate the dynamic range of tissue imaged by elastography, the mechanical behavior of breast and prostate tissue samples subject to compression loading has been investigated and the data show that breast fat tissue has a constant modulus over the strain range tested while the other tissues have a modulus that is dependent on the strain level.About:

TL;DR: Reduction of lysyl oxidase-mediated collagen crosslinking prevented MMTV-Neu-induced fibrosis, decreased focal adhesions and PI3K activity, impeded malignancy, and lowered tumor incidence, and data show how collagenCrosslinking can modulate tissue fibrosis and stiffness to force focal adhesion, growth factor signaling and breast malignancies.

TL;DR: Liver elasticity measurements were reproducible, operator-independent and well correlated and the intra- and interoperator reproducibility of the technique, as well as its ability to quantify liver fibrosis, were evaluated in 106 patients with chronic hepatitis C.

TL;DR: For assessing breast lesions, US elastography with the proposed imaging classification, which was simple compared with that of the Breast Imaging Recording and Data System classification, had almost the same diagnostic performance as conventional US.

Elastography: A Quantitative Method for Imaging the Elasticity of Biological Tissues
TL;DR: Initial results of several phantom and excised animal tissue experiments are reported which demonstrate the ability of this technique to quantitatively image strain and elastic modulus distributions with good resolution, sensitivity and with diminished speckle.

TL;DR: Elastography has the potential to be useful in the evaluation of areas of shadowing on the sonogram and also may be helpful in the distinction of benign from malignant masses.

Tissue response to mechanical vibrations for “sonoelasticity imaging”
TL;DR: Preliminary results support the postulate that sonoelasticity imaging can provide useful information concerning tissue properties that are not otherwise obtainable.

Imaging of the elastic properties of tissue-a review
TL;DR: Some of the previous work done in the related field of biomechanics is surveyed, and a lexicography for elastic imaging is introduced, hoped that this nomenclature will provide a meaningful categorization of various approaches and will make evident the inherent parameters displayed and conditions applied in deriving the resulting images.

Phantom materials for elastography
TL;DR: In this article, a device and procedure for measuring elastic properties of gelatin for elasticity imaging (elastography) was described. And the measured compression forces were comparable to results obtained from finite element analysis when linear elastic media are assumed.
