Our CSR&D project focuses on the non-invasive assessment of human rotator cuff tendon structure using imaging techniques (MRI and US), and biomechanical validation is an important part of this assessment. RCTs are extremely important for upper extremity function, and unfortunately dysfunction is common, with prevalence rates of approximately 70% in patients that seek medical attention for shoulder pain. A major challenge in current practice is how to assess the quality of the tendon. Both clinical assessment and conventional imaging, such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), are insufficient. To date, the results of our Merit Award demonstrate that the new quantitative MRI techniques we proposed are an excellent means by which to quantitatively assess the structural status of the RCT. With the Verasonics Vantage Research US system, we will be able to employ leading-edge shear wave and acoustic radiation force imaging techniques, thus complementing the quantitative structural MRI and US measures we are already performing. This system is unique in that arbitrary waveforms and multi-angle, plane wave imaging can be performed using ultrasound frequencies from 500 KHz to 27 MHz. - We expect that many of the elastography techniques we development and implement using this system will be able to be translated to modern clinical ultrasound imaging systems after testing and validation. 4. Scope. This project s period of performance includes July 1, 2019 through September 30, 2019. 5. Specific Tasks. Verasonics, Inc. will provide the Vantage 64 LE Ultrasound Platform system, a quantitative ultrasound platform which includes the standard host controller and necessary software. The Arbitrary Waveform Package is required, which allows extended transmit and arbitrary wave capabilities. Additionally, the system requires a linear array transducer. 6. Performance Monitoring. The PI, Dr. Eric Y. Chang, will use the Vantage 64 LE Ultrasound Platform system after delivery to check quality of performance. 7. Security Requirements. N/A 8.
