Shear wave elastography employs focused acoustic radiation to generate transverse shear waves within musculoskeletal tissues and captures their propagation in real time. By measuring shear wave ...

A new study could help us understand how our planet was formed. Scientists report that their research shows that Earth's inner core is solid -- a finding made possible by a new method for detecting ...

A team led by researchers from the RIKEN Center for Emergent Matter Science in Japan has succeeded in creating a strong coupling between two forms of waves—magnons and phonons—in a thin film.

According to ARRS' American Journal of Roentgenology (AJR), liver stiffness measurements (LSM) obtained by 2D shear-wave elastography (SWE) may serve as a useful quantitative adjunct to Color Doppler ...

Earthquakes release energy along faults, generating seismic waves. P-waves are faster, compressional, and travel through all materials. S-waves are slower, shear waves, and travel only through solids.

Purdue doctoral student Nicolás Guarín-Zapata holds a "dactyl club," the mantis shrimp uses to pummel the shells of hapless prey. New findings about the structure's natural design could lead to super ...

Adding shear wave elastography, which measures tissue stiffness, to conventional TRUS-guided prostate biopsy may aid detection of prostate cancer. Adding shear wave elastography (SWE) to transrectal ...

The study of earthquakes called Seismology, relies on the fact that different materials within the Earth react differently to stress. When a fault slips, energy radiates outward from the focus (the ...
