Shear Wave Propagation in Soft Tissue and Ultrasound Vibrometry
نویسندگان
چکیده
Studies have found that shear moduli, having the dynamic range of several orders of magnitude for various biological tissues [1], are highly correlated with the pathological statues of human tissue such as livers [2, 3]. The shear moduli can be investigated by measuring the attenuation and velocity of the shear wave propagation in a tissue region. Many efforts have been made to measure shear wave propagations induced by different types of force, which include the motion force of human organs, external applied force [4], and ultrasound radiation force [5].

Mechanical properties of tissue are often related to the pathological state of tissue. Therefore, non-invasively measuring tissue stiffness has important clinical applications. With the assumption of isotropy, incompressibility and linearity, the shear modulus of tissue is related to its shear wave propagation speed. Acoustic radiation force from a focused ultrasound beam can be used to generat...

The generation of shear waves from an ultrasound focused beam has been developed as a major concept for remote palpation using shear wave elastography (SWE). For muscular diagnostic applications, characteristics of the shear wave profile will strongly depend on characteristics of the transducer as well as the orientation of muscular fibers and the tissue viscoelastic properties. The numerical s...
