This book summarises the authors’ 20 years of research on the measurement of soft tissue elasticity in vivo. Clinical applications include assessment of tissue fibrosis after radiotherapy, articular cartilage degeneration, muscle contraction, cancer progression and wound healing. Techniques presented include ultrasound and other indentation methods, OCT-based suction measurement, osmetic loading, vibro-ultrasound, and shear wave propagation methods.
