Hepatocellular carcinoma is the most common type of primary liver cancer, which mainly develops from cirrhosis. Although it is known that cirrhosis increases the elasticity of liver, the possible role of increased microenvironment elasticity in deriving hepatocellular carcinoma is not understood, due to the paucity of micro-scale elastography techniques. We propose quantitative micro-elastography for the mechanical assessment of liver micro-structures during chronic injury in mouse models. Our results show a significant increase in the mean elasticity and elasticity heterogeneity caused by advanced chronic liver injury, and a microscale correlation between the elasticity variation and common pathological features such as fibrosis.
