- This paper describes the first contrast agent for non-invasively imaging the stiffness of tissue, providing greater contrast than existing methods. It was the most-read article in Applied Physics Letters’ Biophysics section in 2016, which led to the lead author being appointed Associate Professor at MEF University, Turkey. The developed technology was filed as a patent (WO2017051164A1). The study led to invited presentations at the International Tissue Elasticity Conference (2015) and the European Symposium on Ultrasound Contrast Imaging (2016); four follow-on journal publications (2018-2020), and a PhD Studentship from the Centre for Doctoral Training in Medical Imaging (EPSRC/EP/L015226/1).
