    摘要: The subject matter described herein includes methods, systems, and computer readable media for monitored application of mechanical force to samples using acoustic energy and mechanical parameter value extraction using mechanical response models. One aspect of the subject matter described herein includes a method for determining mechanical property parameters of a sample. The method includes applying acoustic energy to a sample to apply a mechanical force to the sample. The method further includes measuring a response by the sample during the application of the acoustic energy to determine a value for a first mechanical property parameter of the sample. The method further includes measuring a recovery response of the sample following cessation of the application of the acoustic energy to determine a value for at least one second mechanical property parameter of the sample. The method further includes determining a value for at least one additional mechanical property parameter of the sample based on a mathematical relationship between the first, at least one second, and at least one additional mechanical property parameter.

    摘要: A hand-held apparatus can be used to assist in guiding a probe or locating a particular anatomical target in a subject. The apparatus can include an ultrasonic transducer located on or within a housing and configured to generate ultrasonic energy directed into tissue of a subject and configured to receive a portion of the ultrasonic energy reflected by a target located within the tissue. In an example, the apparatus can include a motion tracking circuit configured to provide information indicative of a motion of the hand-held apparatus to the processor circuit, and a display configured to present information about a location of the target with respect to a portion of the hand-held apparatus, the information about the location determined by the processor circuit using the obtained information indicative of the ultrasonic energy reflected by the target and the information indicative of the motion of the hand-held apparatus.
