  • The added value of quantitative ultrasound to shear-wave elastography for assessment of steatohepatitis in a rat model 

    Tang, An; Destrempes, François; Kazemirad, Siavash; García-Duitama, Julián; Nguyen, Bich Hong; Cloutier, Guy (Institute of electrical and electronics engineers, 2019-12-08)
    Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease is a highly prevalent condition, which may progress to non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), an advanced form found in 3 to 5% of the population. As liver biopsy is invasive, there is a need for a non-invasive technique ...
  • Ultrafast quantitative ultrasound and shear wave elastography imaging of in vivo duck fatty livers 

    Gesnik, Marc; Bhatt, Manish; Roy-Cardinal, Marie-Hélène; Destrempes, François; Chayer, Boris; Allard, Louise; Tang, An; Cloutier, Guy (Institute of electrical and electronics engineers, 2019-12-08)
    Multi-parametric ultrasound imaging is a promising tool for quantification of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. In this work, a protocol of plane wave quantitative ultrasound (QUS) and shear wave elastography imaging (SWEI), ...
