Abstract:Purpose The purpose of this study was to investigate the variation in the Young's modulus (E) of bovine muscle samples as a function of temperature change generated by therapeutic ultrasound using ShearWave™ Elastography. Methods Initially, the bovine muscle was heated via therapeutic ultrasound with a frequency of 3 MHz, nominal intensity of 2 W•cm −2 , and application time of 2 min. Immediately following cessation of therapeutic irradiation, an E image was recorded and the stiffness was measured in circular … Show more
