Noncontact Estimation of Stiffness Based on Optical Coherence Elastography under Acoustic Radiation Pressure
Yuki Hashimoto,Yasuaki Monnai,Yuki Hashimoto,Yasuaki Monnai
In this study, we propose a method of noncontact elastography, which allows us to investigate stiffness of soft structures by combining optical and acoustic modalities. We use optical coherence tomography (OCT) as a means of detecting internal deformation of a sample appearing in response to a mechanical force applied by acoustic radiation pressure. Unlike most of other stiffness sensing, this met...
