Methods, Systems and Computer Program Products for Ultrasound Shear Wave Velocity Estimation and Shear Modulus Reconstruction

摘要

Methods for determining a mechanical parameter of a sample include detecting shear waves that have been generated in the sample by an applied shear wave source. A time of peak displacement of the shear waves for a plurality of sample positions is determined. At least one mechanical parameter of the sample based on the time of peak displacement for the plurality of sample positions is determined.
