Kudosliikehiukkaset
Kudosliikehiukkaset, a Finnish term translating to "tissue motion particles" or "tissue displacement particles," refers to the concept of localized movements within biological tissues. This term is primarily used in the context of biomechanics and medical imaging, particularly in ultrasound elastography. It describes the subtle, often microscopic displacements that occur in tissues in response to external forces or internal physiological processes. These movements are not uniform and can vary significantly depending on the tissue's composition, elasticity, and the applied stimulus.
In elastography, external stimuli such as acoustic radiation force pulses or manual compression are used to
