Shear elastic modulus measurement of the abductor digiti minimi (A) and the first dorsal interosseous (B) muscles of the hand.
These data were obtained in a representative subject during muscle contraction. The colored region represents the shear elasticity map with the scale to the right of the figure. The modality used is <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supersonic_Shear_Imaging" class="extiw" title="w:Supersonic Shear Imaging">Supersonic Shear Imaging</a>, and the shear elastic modulus (in kPa) is shown.
