Abstract:Shear wave elastography (SWE) relies on the generation and tracking of coherent shear waves to image soft tissue’s shear elasticity. However, coherent shear wave tracking is not always possible due to scattered or interfering waves that arise from inhomogeneities, muscular activity, heart beating, or external sources. To overcome this limitation, we developed an alternative approach using a complex elastic wave-field. Based on the analogy between time reversal and seismic noise correlation, this complex field … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
