| Abstract | Tissue stiffness is generally known to be associated with pathologic changes. Ultrasound indentation is able to assess the mechanical properties of soft tissues. Conventional ultrasound indentation devices use rigid flat-ended transducers to directly contact with the tissues and typically operate in the frequency ranging between 2 M Hz and 10 MHz. This paper introduced a novel ultrasound indentation system using water jet compression. The water jet served as an indenter as well as a medium for the propagation of the ultrasound beam. High frequency focused transducer was used to measure the indentation deformation at a microscopic level. It has been demonstrated that the system could effectively assess the tissue-mimicking phantoms with different stiffness. Moreover, another advantage of this novel indentation system was to apply C-scan on soft tissues rapidly and conveniently. By applying different pressures on C-scan sequences, the modulus image of the tissue could be obtained. This paper presented the preliminary results on gel phantoms. The spatial resolution and the sensitivity of the measurements, the reproducibility of the results were also discussed |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
