Conventional multiple-track-location shear wave elasticity imaging (MTL-SWEI) is a powerful tool for noninvasively estimating tissue elasticity. The resolution and noise levels of MTL-SWEI systems, however, are limited by ultrasound speckle. Single-track-location SWEI (STL-SWEI) is a novel variant which fixes the position of the tracking beam and modulates the push location to effectively cancel out the effects of speckle-induced bias. We present here a 3-D STL-SWEI system, which provides full s ...[more]

Project description:Recently, researchers have discovered the direct impact of the tumor mechanical environment on the growth, drug uptake and prognosis of tumors. While estimating the mechanical parameters (solid stress, fluid pressure, stiffness) can aid in the treatment planning and monitoring, most of these parameters cannot be quantified noninvasively. Shear wave elastography (SWE) has shown promise as a means of noninvasively measuring the stiffness of soft tissue. However, stiffness is still not a recognized imaging biomarker. While SWE has been shown to be capable of measuring tumor stiffness in humans, much important research is done in small animal preclinical models, where tumors are often too small for the resolution of traditional SWE tools. Single-track location SWE (STL-SWE) has previously been shown to overcome the fundamental resolution limit of SWE imposed by ultrasound speckle, which may make it suitable for preclinical imaging. Using STL-SWE, in this work, we demonstrate, for the first time, that the stiffness changes occurring inside metastatic murine pancreatic tumors can be monitored over long time scales (up to 9 weeks). To prevent the respiration motion from degrading the STL-SWE estimates, we developed a real-time software-based respiration gating scheme that we implemented on a Verasonics ultrasound imaging system. By imaging the liver of three healthy mice and performing correlation analysis, we confirmed that the respiration-gated STL-SWE data was free from motion corruption. By performing coregistered power-doppler imaging, we found that the local variability in liver shear wave speed (SWS) measurements increased from 5.4% to 9.9% due to blood flow. We performed a longitudinal study using a murine model of pancreatic cancer liver metastasis to assess the temporal changes (over nine weeks) in SWS in two groups: a controlled group receiving no treatment (n=8), and an experimental group (n=6) treated with Gemcitabine, a chemotherapy agent. We independently evaluated tumor burden using bioluminescence imaging (BLI). The initial and endpoint SWS measurements were statistically different (p<0.05). Additionally, when the liver SWS exceeded 2.5 ± 0.3 and 2.73 ± 0.34 m/s in untreated and treated mice, respectively, the death of the mice was imminent within approximately 10 days. The time taken for the SWS to exceed the thresholds was 17 days (on average) longer in Gemcitabine treated mice compared to the untreated ones. The survival statistics corroborated the effectiveness of Gemcitabine. Spearman correlation analysis revealed a monotonic relationship between SWE measurements (SWS) and BLI measurements (radiance) for tumors whose radiance exceeded 1×107 photons/s/cm2/sr. Longitudinal measurements on the liver of four healthy mice revealed a maximum coefficient of variation of 11.4%. The results of this investigation demonstrate that with appropriate gating, researchers can use STL-SWE for small animal imaging and perform longitudinal studies using preclinical cancer models.

Project description:OBJECTIVE:To investigate the correlation between Young's modulus of the thyroid tissue measured by in shear wave elastography (SWE) and the clinical manifestations of Hashimoto's thyroiditis in different stages. METHODS:A total of 104 patients with the clinical diagnosis of Hashimoto's thyroiditis were enrolled in this study, including 26 with hyperthyroidism, 29 with normal thyroid function, 27 with subclinical hypothyroidism, 22 with clinical hypothyroidism, with 50 healthy volunteers serving as the healthy control group. All the subjects underwent SWE to obtain the Young's modulus value of the thyroid tissue. Univariate analysis of variance was used to compare the Young's modulus among the groups, and Pearson correlation analysis was used to analyze the correlation between the Young's modulus of the thyroid tissue and serum levels of thyroid microsomal antibody (TMAb) and thyroid globulin antibody (TGAb). RESULTS:In the 4 groups of patients, the Young's modulus increased significantly in the order of hyperthyroidism group, normal thyroid function group, subclinical hypothyroidism group and clinical hypothyroidism group (F=60.983, P<0.01). The Young's modulus was significantly lower in hyperthyroidism group than in the other 3 groups (P<0.05), and was significantly lower in normal thyroid function group than in subclinical hypothyroidism group and clinical hypothyroidism group (P<0.05). CONCLUSION:The Young's modulus of the thyroid tissue measured by shear wave elastography is related with the clinical manifestations of Hashimoto's thyroiditis in different stages, but the relevance needs to be further confirmed by multi-center, randomized, controlled studies involving a larger sample size.

Project description:Ultrasound elasticity imaging has been developed over the last decade to estimate tissue stiffness. Shear wave elasticity imaging (SWEI) quantifies tissue stiffness by measuring the speed of propagating shear waves following acoustic radiation force excitation. This paper presents the sequencing and data processing protocols of SWEI using a Verasonics system. The selection of the sequence parameters in a Verasonics programming script is discussed in detail. The data processing pipeline to calculate group shear wave speed (SWS), including tissue motion estimation, data filtering, and SWS estimation, is demonstrated. In addition, the procedures for calibration of beam position, scanner timing, and transducer face heating are provided to avoid SWS measurement bias and transducer damage.

Project description:BackgroundWe aimed to observe the relationship between the pathological components of a deep venous thrombus (DVT), which was divided into three parts, and the findings on quantitative ultrasonic shear wave elastography (SWE) to increase the accuracy of thrombus staging in a rabbit model.MethodsA flow stenosis-induced vein thrombosis model was used, and the thrombus was divided into three parts (head, body and tail), which were associated with corresponding observation points. Elasticity was quantified in vivo using SWE over a 2-week period. A quantitative pathologic image analysis (QPIA) was performed to obtain the relative percentages of the components of the main clots.ResultsDVT maturity occurred at 2 weeks, and the elasticity of the whole thrombus and the three parts (head, body and tail) showed an increasing trend, with the Young's modulus values varying from 2.36 ± 0.41 kPa to 13.24 ± 1.71 kPa; 2.01 ± 0.28 kPa to 13.29 ± 1.48 kPa; 3.27 ± 0.57 kPa to 15.91 ± 2.05 kPa; and 1.79 ± 0.36 kPa to 10.51 ± 1.61 kPa, respectively. Significant increases occurred on different days for the different parts: the head showed significant increases on days 4 and 6; the body showed significant increases on days 4 and 7; and the tail showed significant increases on days 3 and 6. The QPIA showed that the thrombus composition changed dynamically as the thrombus matured, with the fibrin and calcium salt deposition gradually increasing and the red blood cells (RBCs) and platelet trabecula gradually decreasing. Significant changes were observed on days 4 and 7, which may represent the transition points for acute, sub-acute and chronic thrombi. Significant heterogeneity was observed between and within the thrombi.ConclusionsVariations in the thrombus components were generally consistent between the SWE and QPIA. Days 4 and 7 after thrombus induction may represent the transition points for acute, sub-acute and chronic thrombi in rabbit models. A dynamic examination of the same part of the thrombus may be helpful for improving the sensitivity and reproducibility of SWE for DVT diagnosis and staging.

Project description:Shear wave (SW) imaging is a novel ultrasound-based technique for assessing tissue characteristics. SW elasticity may be useful to assess the severity of hypertensive left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy. This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of SW elasticity for assessing the degree of myocardial hypertrophy using hypertensive rats. Rats were divided into hypertension group and control group. SW elasticity was measured on the excised heart. Myocardial hypertrophy was assessed histologically. LV weight was greater in hypertension group. An increase in interventricular septum and LV free wall thicknesses was observed in hypertension group. SW elasticity was significantly higher in hypertension group than in control group (14.6 ± 4.3 kPa vs. 6.5 ± 1.1 kPa, P < 0.01). The cross-sectional area of cardiomyocytes was larger in hypertension group than in control group (397 ± 50 μm2 vs. 243 ± 14 μm2, P < 0.01), and SW elasticity was positively correlated with the cross-sectional area of cardiomyocytes (R = 0.96, P < 0.01). This study showed that SW elasticity was higher in hypertensive rats and was closely correlated with the degree of myocardial hypertrophy, suggesting the efficacy of SW elasticity for estimating the severity of hypertensive LV hypertrophy.

Project description:We report here the results of a longitudinal study of cervix stiffness during pregnancy. Thirty women, ages ranging from 19 to 37 years, were scanned with ultrasound at five time points beginning at their normal first-trimester screening (8-13 weeks) through term pregnancy (nominally 40 week) using a clinical ultrasound imaging system modified with a special ultrasound transducer and system software. The system estimated the shear wave speed (its square proportional to the shear modulus under idealized conditions) in the cervix. We found a constant fractional reduction (about 4% per week) in shear wave speed with increasing gestational age. We also demonstrated a spatial gradient in shear wave speed along the length of the cervix (softest at the distal end). Results were consistent with our previous ex vivo and in vivo work in women. Shear wave elasticity imaging may be a potentially useful clinical tool for objective assessment of cervical softening in pregnancy.

Project description:The goal of non-linear ultrasound elastography is to characterize tissue mechanical properties under finite deformations. Existing methods produce high contrast non-linear elastograms under conditions of pure uni-axial compression, but exhibit bias errors of 10-50% when the applied deformation deviates from the uni-axial condition. Since freehand transducer motion generally does not produce pure uniaxial compression, a motion-agnostic non-linearity estimator is desirable for clinical translation. Here we derive an expression for measurement of the Non-Linear Shear Modulus (NLSM) of tissue subject to combined shear and axial deformations. This method gives consistent nonlinear elasticity estimates irrespective of the type of applied deformation, with a reduced bias in NLSM values to 6-13%. The method combines quasi-static strain imaging with Single-Track Location-Shear Wave Elastography (STL-SWEI) to generate local estimates of axial strain, shear strain, and Shear Wave Speed (SWS). These local values were registered and non-linear elastograms reconstructed with a novel nonlinear shear modulus estimation scheme for general deformations. Results on tissue mimicking phantoms were validated with mechanical measurements and multiphysics simulations for all deformation types with an error in NLSM of 6-13%. Quantitative performance metrics with the new compound-motion tracking strategy reveal a 10-15 dB improvement in Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) for simple shear versus pure compressive deformation for NLSM elastograms of homogeneous phantoms. Similarly, the Contrast-to-Noise Ratio (CNR) of NLSM elastograms of inclusion phantoms improved by 25-30% for simple shear over pure uni-axial compression. Our results show that high fidelity NLSM estimates may be obtained at ~30% lower strain under conditions of shear deformation as opposed axial compression. The reduction in strain required could reduce sonographer effort and improve scan safety.

Project description:ObjectiveTo investigate the accuracy and precision of ultrasound shear wave elasticity measurements as a function of target elasticity and acquisition depth.Materials and methodsUsing five ultrasound systems (VTQ, VTIQ, EPIQ 5, Aixplorer, and Aplio 500), two operators independently measured shear wave elasticities in two phantoms containing five different target elasticities (8±3, 14±4, 25±6, 45±8, and 80±12 kPa) at depths of 15, 30, 35, and 60 mm. Accuracy was assessed by evaluating measurement errors and the proportions of outliers, while factors affecting accuracy were assessed using logistic regression analysis. Measurement errors were defined as differences between the measured values and 1) the margins of the target elasticity, and 2) the median values of the target elasticity. Outliers were defined as measured values outside the margins of the target elasticity. Precision was assessed by calculating the reproducibility of measurements using the within-subject coefficient of variation (wCV).ResultsMean measurement errors and the proportions of outliers were higher for high than for low target elasticities (p<0.001), but did not differ in relation to acquisition depth, either within an elastography system or across the different systems. Logistic regression analysis showed that target elasticity (p<0.001) significantly affected accuracy, whereas acquisition depth (p>0.05) did not. The wCV for the 80±12 kPa target (31.33%) was significantly higher than that for lower elasticity targets (6.96-10.43 kPa; p<0.001). The wCV did not differ across acquisition depths. The individual elastography systems showed consistent results.ConclusionsTargets with high elasticity showed lower accuracy and lower precision than targets with low elasticity, while acquisition depth did not show consistent patterns in either accuracy or precision.

Project description:BACKGROUND:To evaluate residual endoleak and thrombus organisation with shear wave imaging (SWI) after endoleak embolisation through an animal study. METHODS:This prospective experimental study involved eight dogs with creation of 16 iliac aneurysms and type I endoleak after endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR). Embolisation agents were injected into the sac to seal endoleak. SWI and colour flow Doppler ultrasound (DUS) were performed at implantation, one week, and one and three months after implantation; for three dogs, SWI and DUS were also performed six months after implantation. Digital subtraction angiography and contrast-enhanced computed tomography were performed at sacrifice. Macroscopic and histopathological analyses were processed to identify regions of interest (ROIs) for endoleak, fresh thrombus, organised thrombus and embolisation agent, where SWI elasticity moduli were compared. RESULTS:At sacrifice, nine aneurysms had residual endoleak, while seven were sealed. Ten had a fresh and 15 had an organised thrombus. SWI was able to detect all endoleaks, including two cases undetected with DUS. Elasticity moduli of 0.2 kPa?±?0.1 kPa (mean?±?SD), 9.5 kPa?±?3.3 kPa, 48.1 kPa?±?21.3 kPa and 44.9 kPa?±?23.7 kPa were found in the ROIs positioned in endoleaks, fresh thrombi, organised thrombi and embolisation agent, respectively. Elasticity values of endoleak and fresh thrombus were lower than those of organised thrombi and embolisation agent (p?<?0.001). Stiffness of fresh thrombus at one week (8.7 kPa?±?3.6 kPa) increased at three months (30.2 kPa?±?13.8 kPa), indicating thrombus maturation (p?<?0.001). CONCLUSIONS:In a dog model of iliac EVAR, SWI was able to identify endoleak, thrombus maturation and embolising agents after endoleak embolisation.

Project description:The elastic properties of the Achilles tendon (AT) are altered in local injury or other diseases and in response to changes in mechanical load. Recently, elastography has been used to evaluate variations in tendon elastic properties, mainly among healthy individuals or athletes. Therefore, this study evaluated the biomechanical changes in ATs in individuals with and without plantar fasciitis (PF). The purposes were as follows: (1) to evaluate the passive stiffness of three regions of the AT which defined as 0 (AT0 cm), 3 (AT3 cm), and 6 cm (AT6 cm) above the calcaneal tuberosity in participants with and without PF, (2) to investigate the interplay between the passive stiffness in patients with PF and pain, (3) to detect optimal cut-off points of stiffness of the AT in assessing individuals with chronic PF, and (4) to determine the correlation between the plantar fascia thickness (PFT) and pain. This cross-sectional study included 40 participants (mean age = 51 ± 13 years). When the ankle was in a relaxed position, patients with PF experienced increased passive stiffness in AT0 cm (p = 0.006) and AT3 cm (P = 0.003), but not in the neutral position. Significant correlations were observed between pain and stiffness of AT (AT0 cm r = 0.489, P = 0.029; AT3 cm r = 487, P = 0.030; AT6 cm r = 0.471, P = 0.036), but not in the PFT (P = 0.557). Optimal cut-off stiffness was AT (452 kPa) in the relaxed ankle position. The plantar fascia of patients with PF was significantly thicker than that of the controls (P < 0.001). Findings from the present study demonstrate that tendon stiffness is a good indicator of the clinical situation of patients with PF. Monitoring passive tendon stiffness may provide additional information to assess severity of the condition and guide therapeutic. The treatment programs for PF should also be tailored to the distal AT, as conventional therapy might not be targeted to tight tendons.
