Toward Quantitative and Operator-independent Quasi-static Ultrasound Elastography: An Ex Vivo Feasibility Study.
TLDR
A noninvasive method that can be used to quantify liver stiffness using quasi-static ultrasound elastography approach is evaluated and suggested that the intra- and interoperator reproducibility of the liver elasticity also improved when using the handheld device.About:

Surface wave elastography using high speed full-field optical interferometry
TL;DR: In this paper , the authors implemented surface wave elastography using high-speed optical interferometry to characterize the elastic properties of tissue-mimicking phantoms and ex-vivo native caprine liver tissue by imaging the surface wave induced by an electromechanical actuator.

Quantitative Quasi-Static Ultrasound Elastography Using Reference Layer: A Preliminary Assessment
TL;DR: The results suggest that using a reference layer with known stiffness, sandwiched between the transducer and the tissue surface, it is feasible to perform quantitative imaging of the underlying target with an error less than 12%.
