Noninvasive measurement of mechanical properties of biological tissues in vivo
could play a significant role in improving the current understanding of tissue
biomechanics. In this study, we propose a method for measuring elastic properties
non-invasively by using internal indentation as generated by harmonic motion
imaging (HMI). In HMI, an oscillating acoustic radiation force is produced by a
focused ultrasound transducer at the focal region, and the resulting
displacements are estimated by tracking radiofrequency signals acquired by an
imaging transducer. In this study, the focal spot region was modeled as a rigid
cylindrical piston that exerts an oscillatory, uniform internal force to the
underlying tissue. The HMI elastic modulus EHMI was defined as the ratio of the
applied force to the axial strain measured by 1D ultrasound imaging. The accuracy
and the precision of the EHMI estimate were assessed both numerically and
experimentally in polyacrylamide tissue-mimicking phantoms. Initial feasibility
of this method in soft tissues was also shown in canine liver specimens in vitro.
Very good correlation and agreement was found between the measured Young's
modulus and the HMI modulus in the numerical study (r(2) > 0.99, relative
error <10%) and on polyacrylamide gels (r(2) = 0.95, relative error <24%). The
average HMI modulus on five liver samples was found to EHMI = 2.62? ± ?0.41?kPa,
compared to EMechTesting = 4.2? ± ?2.58?kPa measured by rheometry. This study has
demonstrated for the first time the initial feasibility of a non-invasive,
model-independent method to estimate local elastic properties of biological
tissues at a submillimeter scale using an internal indentation-like approach.
Ongoing studies include in vitro experiments in a larger number of samples and
feasibility testing in in vivo models as well as pathological human specimens.
