Ultrasound Viscosity Imaging, Viscosity, Quantitative DiagnosisAbstract
Ultrasound Viscosity imagine (UVI) is an emerging quantitative diagnostic technique that provides a functional complement to traditional ultrasound morphological examination by measuring the viscous properties of tissues. Traditional ultrasound mainly relies on tissue acoustic impedance differences to generate anatomical images, while viscoelasticity reflects the microstructure and mechanical state of tissue, which is closely related to multiple pathophysiological processes. This paper aims to systematically expound the basic physical principles, key technologies, and clinical applications of ultrasound viscosity imaging in the liver, thyroid, breast, and other organs, and to look forward to its future research and development directions. Ultrasound viscosity imaging technology provides a new imaging biomarker for early diagnosis, efficacy evaluation, and prognosis of diseases by quantifying tissue viscous parameters.
