CORE--LABORATORY CORE

该核心将支持所有项目，并为它们提供 体模和组织的弹性图和超声图。 这将是 通过使用专门为此而建造的专用设备来完成 目的. 该设备允许在以下条件下采集弹性成像数据 包括换能器，边界条件， 应用应力和信号处理。 获取的图像和数据将 存储在伯努利磁盘上并分发给其他项目。 该核心还将执行体模材料的应力-应变测量 由Hall博士在Core 9002中制作。 这些测量结果将 提供与弹性成像研究进行比较的标准。

This core will support all the projects and will provide them with elastograms and sonograms of phantoms and tissues. This will be accomplished by utilizing specialized equipment constructed for this purpose. This equipment allows the acquisition of elastography data under a variety of conditions involving transducers, boundary conditions, applied stress and signal processing. Acquired images and data will be stored on Bernoulli disks and disseminated to the other projects. This core will also perform stress-strain measurements of phantom material produced in Core 9002 by Dr. Hall. Results of these measurements will provide the standard for comparison with elastography studies.
