Systematické metody posuzování a hodnocení síly útlaku měkkých tkání

Abstract

Dissertation thesis describes proposal of the new diagnostic method for noninvasive measurement and evaluation of soft tissue stiffness. This proposed method is intended primarily for the diagnosis of two selected serious diseases, soft tissue cancer and compartment syndrome. The work describes development of two different experimental devices for non-invasive measurement of soft tissues mechanical parameters including production of a prototype. Along with a description of measurement series implementation a detailed process of evaluation using FEM simulation methods is provided. Established evaluation parameter is then compared with the value obtained from the experimental soft tissue investigation using advanced ultrasound elastography.
