Arterial elasticity imaging: comparison of finite-element analysis models with high-resolution ultrasound speckle tracking

<p>Abstract</p> <p>Background</p> <p>The nonlinear mechanical properties of internal organs and tissues may be measured with unparalleled precision using ultrasound imaging with phase-sensitive speckle tracking. The many potential applications of this important noninvas...
