Passive Elastography: a Shear Wave Tomography of the Human Body
Sponsor(s): Pratt School of Engineering
Elastography, sometimes referred as seismology of the human body, is an imaging modality recently implemented on medical ultrasound systems. It allows to measure shear waves within soft tissues and gives a tomography reconstruction of the shear elasticity. This elasticity map is useful for early cancer detection.
