Abstract
An ultrasound‐based elastography system is being developed to noninvasively measure the complex shear speed in cetacean head tissues, including brain, jaw fat, and melon. The system instrumentation features a pair of dual‐element confocal ultrasound transducers, one of which is used to remotely generate low frequency shear waves in soft tissues via radiation force, while the other is used as a vibrometer to measure the resulting shear wave displacements. Results are presented for in situ measurements on formalin fixed tissues from a bottlenose dolphin (tursiops truncatus). [Work supported by ONR.]
