Experimental validation of acoustic radiation force induced shear wave interference patterns.
A novel elasticity imaging system founded on the use of acoustic radiation forces from a dual beam arrangement to generate shear wave interference patterns is described. Acquired pulse-echo data and correlation-based techniques were used to estimate the resultant deformation and to visualize tissue viscoelastic response. The use of normal versus axicon focal configurations was investigated for ...
متن کاملTheoretical Analysis of Shear Wave Interference Patterns by Means of Dynamic Acoustic Radiation Forces.
Acoustic radiation forces associated with high intensity focused ultrasound stimulate shear wave propagation allowing shear wave speed and shear viscosity estimation of tissue structures. As wave speeds are meters per second, real time displacement tracking over an extend field-of-view using ultrasound is problematic due to very high frame rate requirements. However, two spatially separated dyn...

Shear wave elastography is an innovative technique that employs one conventional focused ultrasound beam to induce shear waves and another to detect them. The final quantitative elasticity image is presented as a colour map overlaying the B-mode image. This new technique is used in combination with traditional ultrasound imaging in order to improve the specificity of distinguishing malignant an...
متن کاملConcurrent Visualization of Acoustic Radiation Force Displacement and Shear Wave Propagation with 7T MRI
Manual palpation is a common and very informative diagnostic tool based on estimation of changes in the stiffness of tissues that result from pathology. In the case of a small lesion or a lesion that is located deep within the body, it is difficult for changes in mechanical properties of tissue to be detected or evaluated via palpation. Furthermore, palpation is non-quantitative and cannot be u...
متن کاملAcoustic radiation force impulse induced strain elastography and point shear wave elastography for evaluation of thyroid nodules.
The aim of the study was to evaluate the diagnostic performance of acoustic radiation force impulse (ARFI) induced strain elastography (SE), point shear wave elastography (p-SWE), and their combined use in differentiating thyroid nodules. This retrospective study included 155 thyroid nodules (94 benign and 61 malignant) in 136 patients. Ultrasound, ARFI-induced SE and p-SWE were performed on ea...
