Dynamic morphometric characterization of local connective tissue network structure in humans using ultrasound
5 Jun 2007
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: In humans, connective tissue forms a complex, interconnected network throughout the body that may have mechanosensory, regulatory and signaling functions. Understanding these potentially important phenomena requires non-invasive measurements of collagen network structure that can be performed in live animals or humans. The goal of this study was to show that ultrasound can be used to quantify dynamic...
