Spatial characterization of the natural mechanical vibrations occurring in-vivo during isometric contractions of the biceps brachii muscle: towards passive elastography of skeletal muscles
Noninvasive viscoelasticity imaging, or “dynamic elastography”, methods have recently been developed to objectively quantify the local viscoelastic properties of soft tissues by measuring the local propagation velocity of mechanical shear vibrations (e.g. faster velocity indicates stiffer material)....
