The expanding frontier of optical elastography and diagnostic biomechanics

Year: 2023

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: The term "elastography" covers a dynamic and expanding set of diagnostic imaging techniques which probe the biomechanical properties of tissues. This overview covers some of the major approaches that have evolved and their role in improving clinical diagnoses. A deeper level of study is also emerging linking our estimates of viscoelasticity to the multiscale structure and composition of living tissue in normal and diseased states. These studies can be undertaken at the highest spatial resolution with optical techniques, and examples in cornea, brain, and skin will be covered.
