In Vivo Determination of the Complex Elastic Moduli of Cetacean Head Tissue

Abstract

The overall goal of this project is to develop and demonstrate a system for non-invasive in vivo measurement of the complex elastic moduli (stiffnesses and loss factors) of cetacean head tissues. This system is ultimately intended to provide a portable diagnostic capability for use in stranded animal assessments.
