Full Characterization of in vivo Muscle as an Elastic, Incompressible, Transversely Isotropic Material Using Ultrasonic Rotational 3D Shear Wave Elasticity Imaging

Anna E. Knight et al.

Summary: Using a 3D rotational shear wave elasticity imaging setup, this study developed and validated a methodology to measure the mechanical properties of muscle as an elastic, incompressible, transversely isotropic material. By measuring the shear vertical and shear horizontal wave speed, three independent parameters for full material characterization were obtained. The results showed that 3D shear wave elasticity imaging could accurately characterize muscle mechanical properties compared to 2D shear wave elasticity imaging.

Muscle ultrasound: Present state and future opportunities

Juerd Wijntjes et al.

Summary: Muscle ultrasound is a valuable addition to the neuromuscular toolkit, with proven value and reliability, but it is not fully utilized in the diagnostic care of patients with neuromuscular disease. Limitations in visual image interpretation could be overcome with simpler scoring systems and deep-learning algorithms. More information on the relation between specific neuromuscular disorders, disease stages, and expected ultrasound abnormalities will enhance the technique's specificity.
