Young's modulus
Young's modulus is a relationship between elasticity, strain, and stress:
elasticity x (change in length / original length) = (force / area)
put another way, this is
elasticity x (strain) = stress
or
elasticity = stress / strain
Elasticity is measured in kilopascals (kPa).

Strain elastography
Strain elastography (also known as tissue strain elastography/static elastography/compression elastography) is a developing form of ultrasound that assesses tissues' macroscopic structure through the strain modulus. This is different from normal B-mode grayscale ultrasound which characterizes a ...

Shear wave elastography
Shear wave elastography is a developing variation of ultrasound imaging.
The concept is similar to strain elastography, but instead of using transducer pressure to compare a shift in an ultrasound A-line (thereby measuring changes in strain), a higher intensity pulse is transmitted to produce s...
