Augmentation of the In Vivo Elastic Properties Measurement System to Include Bulk Properties

Abstract

The goal of this project is to develop and demonstrate a system for non-invasive in vivo measurement of the complex elastic moduli of cetacean head soft tissues. This system is ultimately intended to provide a portable tissue characterisation and diagnostic capability for stranded animals.
