[Insight-users] Fw: IA-FEMesh Modulus & Poisson Ratio

[H-B]

Hi Matt,

Really it is very important in formation, I don't know what can i do with out 
your help, Thank you very much for this wonderful information and for the Book 
which will facilitate my work.

Best Regards,

H.B

Hi H-B, 

My colleague says values range from about 1.5 kPa to 2.5 kPa for both human and 
bovine healthy liver tissue.  But cirrhotic livers could get up to 40 kPa.

The properties of other tissues should be not that hard to find with a search on 
PubMed.  A good general reference on the topic is Fung's Biomechanics:

Matt

Yes, that looks to be correct.  I actually have a colleague in my lab that makes 
mechanical measurements of the liver.  If I recall correctly, he gets 
approximately 2 kPa for healthy bovine liver -- the same value that you have 
found.  I can ask for certain on Monday if you need confirmation.

Matt
