Abstract:Objective. An ultrasound-based system capable of both imaging thrombi against a dark field and performing quantitative elastometry could allow for fast and cost-effective thrombosis diagnosis, staging, and treatment monitoring. This study investigates a contrast-enhanced approach for measuring the Young’s moduli of thrombus-mimicking phantoms. Approach. Magnetomotive ultrasound (MMUS) has shown promise for lending specific contrast to thrombi by applying a temporally modulated force to magnetic nanoparticle (M… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
