“…While these figures do not provide a direct comparison, they suggest a difference in the sensitivity of bulk and elastic moduli to cytoskeletal alteration, with greater changes in elastic moduli in disease states. Moreover, using acoustic contrast to calculate bulk moduli often relies on the assumption of literature values for cell density, 149,182 which are not widely reported in literature for most cell types. Measurements of bulk modulus obtained using this approach may only be reported within the bounds of the significant uncertainty in these values.…”
