Although seizure etiology is increasingly understood, the pathophysiological mechanisms contributing to cognitive decline and epilepsy progression remain less recognized. We have previously shown that adult hippocampal neurogenesis dramatically declines in MTLE patients with increased disease duration.

Background And Objective: Current approaches for ultrasound spectral elastography make use of block processing, resulting in long computational times. This work describes a real-time, robust, and quantitative imaging modality to map the elastic and viscoelastic properties of soft tissues using ultrasound.
Methods: This elastographic technique relies on the spectral estimation of the shear-wave phase speed by combining a local phase-gradient method and angular filtering.
