Abstract

Propagating shear waves in tissue can be measured with high frame rate Doppler or correlation methods. The measured characteristics of the shear waves, such as speed versus frequency, can be used to deduce material properties such as complex viscoelastic modulus using physics models appropriate to the geometry and properties of the tissue. This inverse problem is characterized by calculating the storage and loss modulus as a function of frequency and requires appropriate tissue motion, which in turn requires optimized dynamic radiation force distributions. We will discuss novel radiation force distributions that provide enhanced tissue motions appropriate to dealing with the inverse problem of determining tissue material properties from ultrasonically measured tissue motion.
