Near field effect on elasticity measurement for cartilage-bone structure using Lamb wave method

Abstract Background Cartilage elasticity changes with cartilage degeneration. Hence, cartilage elasticity detection might be an alternative to traditional imaging methods for the early diagnosis of osteoarthritis. Based on the wave propagation measurement, Shear wave elastography (SWE) become an eme...
