Summary

This study demonstrates that axial-shear strain elastography (ASSE) reliably visualizes high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) lesion boundaries. ASSE offers a more robust method for lesion area estimation and improved visualization of untreated regions between HIFU lesions.

Elastic Strain Energy for Shearing Stresses

As discussed in previous lessons, strain energy in a material is the energy stored when it is elastically deformed, a concept crucial in materials science and mechanical engineering. This energy results from the internal work done against the cohesive forces within the material. When a material undergoes shearing stress and corresponding shearing strain, the strain energy density, which is the energy stored per unit volume, is calculated. Within the elastic limit, where the stress is...
