“…This technique is expected to lead to a reduction in operator dependency, high reproducibility and quantitative evaluation. 28,[34][35][36][37][38] However, there are few reports on available normative values of in vivo tissue in head and neck fields. 24 The first purpose of this study was to experimentally clarify the reliability on measurement using shear-wave sonoelastography compared with strain sonoelastography with the use of muscle phantoms that sufficiently covered the actual hardness of the human masseter muscle at clenching.…”

Objectives: Shear-wave sonoelastography is expected to facilitate low operator dependency, high reproducibility and quantitative evaluation, whereas there are few reports on available normative values of in vivo tissue in head and neck fields. The purpose of this study was to examine the reliabilities on measuring hardness using shear-wave sonoelastography and to clarify normal values of masseter muscle hardness in healthy volunteers. Methods: Phantoms with known hardness ranging from 20 to 140 kPa were scanned with shear-wave sonoelastography, and inter-and intraoperator reliabilities were examined compared with strain sonoelastography. The relationships between the actual and measured hardness were analyzed. The masseter muscle hardness in 30 healthy volunteers was measured using shear-wave sonoelastography. Results: The inter-and intraoperator intraclass correlation coefficients were almost perfect. Strong correlations were seen between the actual and measured hardness. The mean hardness of the masseter muscles in healthy volunteers was 42.82 ± 5.56 kPa at rest and 53.36 ± 8.46 kPa during jaw clenching. Conclusions: The hardness measured with shear-wave sonoelastography showed high-level reliability. Shear-wave sonoelastography may be suitable for evaluation of the masseter muscles.

“…5 Ke Chen, PhD, Aiping Yao, PhD, Eugene E. Zheng, BA, Jiangli Lin, PhD, Yi Zheng, PhD Early studies showed that the shear viscoelastic properties of soft tissue could be obtained from low-frequency shear wave propagation induced by external force. [6][7][8] Transient elastography was applied to study the shear elasticity of breast tumors, which were considered pure elastic and described by the Young modulus. 9 Later, it was shown that the amplitude and shape of impulse shear waves generated by acoustic radiation force strongly depend on the tissue's viscosity.…”

he study of shear moduli has great potential for tissue characterization because the range of variation in the shear moduli is several orders more than that for the bulk moduli for various biological tissues. 1 An effective approach for noninvasively measuring the shear moduli is to quantify responses of the tissue stressed by external force. Three of the main challenges in obtaining the shear moduli of soft tissue are as follows: (1) remotely generating a shear wave with the frequencies of interest in a tissue region; (2) noninvasively measuring the propagation of the induced shear wave, which quickly attenuates over distances; and (3) selecting a tissue model and calculating the tissue shear moduli of the model using measured shear waves.Several research groups showed that it is feasible to remotely generate motions in a tissue region using ultrasound radiation force. Dual beams or amplitude modulations were used to induce harmonic motions with a prescribed frequency. 2 Pushing pulses were used to generate pulsed motions. 3 Periodic pushing pulses were used to generate harmonic motions with multiple prescribed frequencies. 4 The three classic models, Voigt, Maxwell, and Zener, were applied to fit the velocity measurements and estimate shear moduli of porcine livers with different thermal damage levels and different storage times. The Zener model always provided the best estimation of the moduli with the minimum errors in our experiments. Unlike the Voigt and Maxwell models, the moduli of the Zener model cannot be used to indicate damage levels in porcine livers directly, but the creep and relaxation behaviors of the Zener model are effective.
