TU‐G‐220‐01: Quantitative Elasticity Imaging with Acoustic Radiation Force Induced Shear Waves

Purpose: Shear waves can be generated in soft tissues using impulsive acoustic radiation force (ARFI), and the resulting shear wave speeds (SWS) can be related to the shear moduli (G) by SWS = sqrt(G/rho). Time‐of‐flight (TOF) algorithms can be used to track shear wave positions through time to esti...
