Abstract:The authors of this paper focused their attention on developing numerical models of mechanical wave propagation along human tissue as a result of the application of the measuring head of the FibroScan® elastograph. The FibroScan® diagnostic device is used for diagnostic testing of liver fibrosis and steatosis. This examination is carried out using an in vivo method by directly applying the surface of the ultrasonic measuring probe to the patient’s skin at the site of the liver. The authors’ idea is to use this… Show more
