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.

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%.
