Table 4:
Statistics quantifying the change in mechanical properties and shear wave speed squared – stress regression parameters for the phantoms in Set 2 across specimens, testing sessions, and trials. All properties and parameters except R2 differed significantly across specimens. All properties and parameters except the y-intercept differed significantly across testing sessions.
